Yield About 8 boardinghouse-sized bi

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups self-rising flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons shortening
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1/3 cup buttermilk
1/3 cup whole milk
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon water

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Great an 8 by 8 by 2-inch baking pan well. Sift the flour, baking powder, and sugar into a bowl. Cut in the shortening and butter until the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal. Make a well in the center of the flour and pour in the buttermilk and milk. Mix lightly and quickly with your hands to form a dough moist enough to leave the sides of the bowl. Turn onto a lightly floured surface. Knead by picking up the sides of the dough away from you while pressing down with the palms of your hands and pushing the dough away. Repeat 6 or 7 times. Work the dough into a large ball while kneading. Keep your fingers dry by frequently dipping them in dry flour. Pinch off portions of dough for desired size biscuit. Press lightly to make the biscuits look flat on the pan. Make sure the biscuits touch each other. Bake for 15 minutes.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my biscuits turned out really flat. They didn't have much flavor either.

These biscuits were a bit too dense for my taste. I prefer a lighter, flakier biscuit.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my biscuits didn't turn out as fluffy as I expected. They were still tasty, though.

My family loved these biscuits! They were so fluffy and buttery, and they had the perfect amount of crunch on the outside. I'll definitely be making these again.
