Roll dough out to a 1/2-inch-thick rectangle.

FLAKY BUTTERMILK BISCUITS
I'm gonna come out and say it because you're gonna think it: these taste like Popeye's biscuits. (At least the back-in-the-day Popeye's.) Why, thank you. They do. These are what biscuits should be. They're flaky, with layers so fine they melt in your mouth. There's just enough flour and leavening to rise them up, so the fat doesn't weigh them down into greasy pucks. And there's plenty of buttermilk to keep them moist. That makes the dough sticky, so work fast and handle the dough as lightly as possible. Featherlight biscuits will be your reward.

Steps:
- Brush softened butter on a sheet pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and baking soda. Set aside.
- In a large glass measuring cup measure the buttermilk. Add the shortening. With an immersion blender on high, blend the shortening into the buttermilk until smooth.
- Using a box grater, grate the cold butter into the flour. Toss until all of the pieces are coated. Lightly pinch the butter pieces into the flour.
- Lightly coat your work surface with nonstick cooking spray, then flour. (The spray keeps the flour in place.) Add the buttermilk/shortening mixture to the flour/butter mixture. Gently mix the dough with a rubber spatula until there are no dry bits of flour left. The dough should be slightly sticky.
- Transfer dough to the prepared work surface. Lightly coat your hands with flour and gently press the dough with the palms of your hands to form it into a smooth flat rectangle, 1/2-inch thick. Sprinkle the dough with flour, then fold it into thirds (like a letter). Pat the dough out again, sprinkle with a little flour, and fold it into thirds again. Turn the dough 90 degrees (this time folding in the open ends first.) Repeat one more time. Dough should no longer be sticky.
- With a floured 2- or 2 1/2- inch biscuit cutter, cut out dough rounds. Flip the rounds over so that the smooth sides that were against the work surface face up and place on the prepared pan, 1-inch apart. Stack the scraps and press and cut again. Refrigerate until cold, about 15 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Bake until the tops are golden brown and crisp, about 16 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes before serving hot.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Place flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
- Cut in crisco with pastry cutter or fork.
- Add enough milk to make dough, do not mix too much.
- Place dough on flour surface and pat out to about 1/2 inch thick, try not to work it too much the less handled the more tender the biscuit.
- Cut biscuits with a floured cutter or glass.
- Place on cookie sheet (I use a stone cookie sheet, it makes the biscuits a little crunchy on bottom).
- Top each biscuit with just a little bit of butter (no need to melt it, just put a little chunk).
- Bake for 15 minutes or until brown on the bottom and top.
- Remove and enjoy with your favorite topping.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the biscuits will be. Look for high-quality butter, flour, and sugar.
- Follow the recipe carefully: Don't skip any steps or substitute ingredients unless you know what you're doing. Baking is a science, and changing the recipe can lead to unpredictable results.
- Chill the dough: Chilling the dough helps to firm up the butter, which makes it easier to roll out and prevents the biscuits from spreading too much in the oven.
- Roll the dough evenly: Use a rolling pin to roll the dough out to an even thickness. This will help to ensure that the biscuits bake evenly.
- Cut the biscuits straight: Use a sharp knife to cut the biscuits straight. This will help to prevent them from puffing up unevenly in the oven.
- Bake the biscuits at a high temperature: Bake the biscuits at a high temperature (400 degrees Fahrenheit or higher) for a short amount of time. This will help to create a crispy exterior and a tender interior.
Conclusion:
Biscuits are a delicious and versatile food that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are also a great way to use up leftover ingredients. With a little practice, you can make perfect biscuits that will impress your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give one of these biscuit recipes a try.
