FAVORITE HOMEMADE BUTTERMILK BISCUITS
"My great aunt taught me how to make the best homemade buttermilk biscuits. I would stand and watch her make them everyday when I was a little girl. She made a batch everyday and I would have at least two with my dinner. There's nothing better than having a good tomato biscuit later or even as a snack. She had a special way of making them and everyone always looked forward to her biscuits."
2 cups self-rising flour, sifted
1 1/3 cups buttermilk
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 cup Crisco shortening
1 pinch baking powder
Measure out buttermilk in measuring cup and let sit for 5-10 minutes, add a pinch of baking powder and stir well. Preheat oven to 450°F. Measure out flour with 1/4 tsp of baking powder and sift with a sifter into a bowl. Add Crisco shortening and cut into flour well. Make a well in middle of flour mixture and pour buttermilk in slowly. Flour your hand, mix together flour mixture and buttermilk well, forming a ball and turn out onto a floured surface. Clean hands (scraping off all dough). Roll with a floured rolling pin or you can use your hands to flatten out, to about 1/2 to 1-inch thick. Cut with a large floured biscuit (round) cutter or use the rim of a floured round drinking glass. Place on a greased baking sheet and bake 12 to 15 minutes or until tops are lightly brown.
NOTE: You can use a small biscuit cutter depending on how many biscuits you want to make.

OMG GOOD :) I used a cup & 1/2 half'n half and 3 cups milk. Jimmy Dean HOT sausage in really good for this. Thanks for the easy recipe.
I just made this tonight for dinner and everyone loved it. I did thicken it a little more with cornstarch and a little water. I will be making this again for sure, thanks for posting!
We love sausage gravy with Favorite Homemade Buttermilk Biscuits. This recipe was easy to make, the directions were excellent. I did sub the 1 3/4 c with whipping cream and only used 2 1/2c of 2% milk. It was plenty thick enough, I felt if I used another cup it would of made the gravy to thin. Made this for the "Easy Does It" event in the photo forum. Thanks for sharing this fast breakfast recipe :)
Yumm!
