Homemade Biscuits

This recipe is a frequent request from JA!

Ingredients:

2 cups Martha White self-rising flour

1/4 cup Crisco all-vegetable shortening

3/4 cup milk

Directions:

1) Heat oven to 450 degrees F. Spray a cookie sheet or cake pan with lightly with non-stick cooking spray. Scoop flour into a large bowl. Cut in shortening (not with a hand mixer- it will be a disaster) with a fork or large spoon until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.

2) Add milk. Stir with a fork until soft dough forms and mixture begins to pull away from sides of the bowl.

3) By hand, knead the dough in the bowl. Pull the desired biscuit-sized balls from the dough bowl. Place biscuits in the prepared pan, with the biscuit sides just barely touching. 

4) Bake 10-12 minutes, or until biscuits are golden on the tops.

Bon Appétit!
