MOM'S BAKING POWDER BISCUITS
This is the recipe my mom always made. I like to use the butter flavored shortening, but you can use regular. Amount of biscuits you get depends on how big around you make them and the thickness. My daughter likes me to make smaller ones.

BASIC BAKING POWDER BISCUITS (MODIFIED FOR STAND MIXERS)
These biscuits are light inside, slightly crispy on the outside. They are terrific for breakfast served as biscuits topped with a hearty sausage gravy (such as Sawmill Gravy recipe #: 56251) or as an accompaniment to any stew or "meat and potatoes" type dinner. (Note: Mixer speed settings are for KitchenAid stand mixers; adjust accordingly for the brand of mixer that you will be using)

ROLLED BAKING POWDER BISCUITS
One of my earliest memories is of my mother making biscuits and gravy for breakfast. All the kids would stand around while Mom cut the biscuits hoping for a little scrap of dough to play with. We weren't disappointed! Before baking them, Mom would melt bacon grease in the skillet and dip the biscuit top in the grease before turning the bisuit over and placing it in the skillet. Makes a really good old-fashioned biscuit! I think Mom must have doubled her recipe to feed all of us.

Tips:
- Use cold butter: Cold butter creates pockets of steam in the biscuits as they bake, resulting in a flaky texture.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the biscuits tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking helps the biscuits to rise and become flaky.
- Bake the biscuits in a hot oven: A hot oven will help the biscuits to rise quickly and evenly.
- Don't crowd the biscuits in the pan: Leave some space between the biscuits so that they can rise properly.
- Brush the biscuits with melted butter before baking: This will help the biscuits to brown and become crispy.
