Bex Fool Proof Biscuits
It only took me 15 years, but I have FINALLY perfected my Grandmother Hazel's Southern Biscuits!! It was a lot easier than I ever expected, so long as you use the proper ingredients and equipment - I hope you Enjoy!!
INGREDIENTS:
2 c. White Lily Flour (Unbleached Self-Rising Flour)
1 tsp. Sugar
1 tsp. Salt
4 Tbs. Chilled Crisco - cubed
4 Tbs. Chilled Butter - cubed
1 c. Buttermilk (see recipe below how to make Buttermilk)
**How to Make Buttermilk**
Add either 1 Tbs white vinegar OR 1 Tbs lemon juice to cup of milk & let sit for about 5minutes - Magically becomes Buttermilk! You are Welcome!!
WHAT TO DO:
-Heat Oven to 500 degrees
-Coat baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray - I use a Cast Iron Skillet and coat that with spray -
-Pour flour in bowl and cut in shortening & butter cubes with a pastry blender or with a fork until crumbs are the size of small peas.
-Blend in just enough Buttermilk with a fork until dough leaves sides of bowl.
-Turn dough onto lightly floured surface.
-Knead gently 3 to 4 times.
-Roll dough to 1/2inch thickness.
-Cut using floured 2 inch biscuit cutter.
-Place biscuits, so sides are touching - into prepared cast iron skillet (or baking sheet)
Bake 8 to 10 minutes until golden brown.
*Makes 12 biscuits
