Buttermilk Biscuits

Basically, start off with frying up a 1/2lb of bacon. You will use the grease to coat both top and bottom of each biscuit. I like to use what's left of the grease to make gravy.

Buttermilk Biscuits

• 2 Cups Self-Rising Flour

OR

• 2 Cups Flour
• 2 TSP Baking Powder
• 3/4 TSP Salt

PLUS

• 1/4 TSP Baking Soda
• 1/4 TSP Salt
• 1/4 CUP Shortening
• 1 CUP Buttermilk

You may need a little more buttermik and. little less shortening, depending on climate. Try it and see if they are moist enough. If they are too crumbly, use less shortening.

Cook @ 400 degrees for 15-17 minutes, then 2 minutes on BROIL to brown tops


After two minutes on broil, pull out and do a quick egg wash. Put back in on broil for 1-2 minutes (basically keep an eye on them to brown)

MAKES 9.5 BISCUITS

NOTE if you don't have Buttermilk you can make your own by adding a TBSP of lemon juice to 1 CUP of sweet milk and let that sit for 10 minutes. You may need to add a bit more flour as this faux buttermilk seems to absorb less.
