• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/3 cup butter or shortening cold
• 1 cup milk or buttermilk


✅Instructions

00:00:11 - How to use a cheese grater to cut butter into biscuits
00:00:53 - Adding dry ingredients for biscuits
00:01:04 - Cutting grated butter into dry ingredients for biscuits
00:01:28 - Buttermilk vs. milk for biscuits
00:03:40 - Quick recap Flaky Old Fashioned Biscuits recipe

1️⃣ In a large mixing bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, sugar and salt.

2️⃣ Grate your butter using a cheese grater and stir into the flour mixture OR cut into small pieces and use a pastry cutter to cut the fat into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal or sand.

3️⃣ 00:01:19 - Gradually pour in the milk or buttermilk, stirring just until the dough comes together.

4️⃣ 00:01:38 - Turn the dough out on a lightly floured surface and work it just until everything is well combined.

5️⃣ 00:01:54 - Press the dough flat until it is 1-inch thick. Use a circle biscuit cutter or a drinking glass to cut out your biscuits. Combine leftover scraps and continue re-pressing and cutting until all dough is used.

6️⃣ 00:02:35 - Place cut biscuits on an un-greased baking sheet and bake at 425 degrees for about 12-15 minutes, until the tops are nicely browned. Brush the tops with melted butter, if desired.

    I used to be young and now I'm old, very old. My Mama made the most wonderful biscuits in the world, everybody thought so. She used lard or bacon grease in her biscuits instead of shortening or butter. She melted a heaping tablespoon of lard or bacon grease in an iron skillet, then she put the biscuits in the grease and then flipped them over so that they would be greased on both sides and then baked them but other than that they are just like yours. I always make them to this day. They can't be beat, so don't try. Simple, quick and easy. Thank you for sharing what you know to help those who don't. You're a treasure and a precious person. God bless y'all so big Jude, from Kentucky ✝️🐴🐦🌿❣️
