Looking for a Southern Biscuit recipe?

Question

Love Southern cooking but I can't find a recipe for a southern biscuit nice and fluffy more recipes just aren't as good as you can eat in the southern states.

Answer 1

Great Southern Biscuits!!!

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup whole milk
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F
In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in shortening with a pastry blender or by rubbing between your fingers until the lumps are smaller than peas. Pour in the milk all at once, and stir with a large spoon until dough is evenly moist. It should be sticky.
Flour your hands, and knead the dough lightly for 3 or 4 turns, adding just enough flour so that it doesn't stick to your hands. Let the dough rest for a minute or two.
With well-floured hands, pinch off pieces of dough (about 12) and pat lightly into balls. Don't over work the dough. Place about 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets. With floured knuckles, press each ball down to about 1/2 inch thickness.
Bake for 11 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven, until browned on the bottom. Serve hot with butter.

Easy to make and great to eat!
Hope this helps..
