Biscuits!

[Marthe48]

Fresh, made from scratch, right out of the oven. What an indulgence!

2. Mom made them once a week .

Oh, I remember that smell, and that was 70 years ago.

3. Wow!

Years back Martha had a lady on her show making biscuits. Pour a small bag of self-rising flour into a bowl. Add buttermilk into a well that you make. Then Crisco into that cold buttermilk and pinch with fingers until pea size. Then gather enough flour to make a ball. Roll out and cut and bake. Save flour in frig for next batch. They are good. Check it out.

4. I stir together the dry ingredients

then add shortening, and mix till mealy. Then add milk and stir just till blended. I melt butter in the pan, and then drop the dough into the butter. Bake at 425 for 16-18 minutes. I've used buttermilk, almond milk, cream, milk or a combination of them.

I got the recipe from an old cookbook I've had forever

5. So much easier with a food processor

Pastry doughs of various descriptions are about all I used mine for., nothing else justified the cleanup.

Love my own shortbread, biscuits, pie crusts. Haven't made any of them since I moved and don't have room for appliances.

6. I mostly do a small batch once in awhile

I used a cup of flour, and got 8 biscuits. Bowl, fork, pastry blender, pan. I like doing the dough mixing by hand, puts a little of me into the batch

7. It's too bad that many tasty things are unhealthy. Crisco? People still use that artery clogger? nt

8. I use coconut oil

Not better, I know. I don't think I've made flour biscuits for over 6 months. For the 2 years before that, I made coconut flour biscuits, but I didn't want to use that many eggs.
