Title: Daddy's Biscuits By Trisha Yearwood
Categories: Five, Breads
Yield: 12 Servings

Nonstick cooking spray
4 tb Vegetable shortening
2 c Self-rising flour *
3/4 c Buttermilk, well shaken

Set oven @ 450ºF/232ºC.

Lightly grease a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
Using a pastry blender or two table knives, cut the
shortening into the flour until it resembles coarse meal.
Use a fork to stir in the buttermilk to make a soft dough,
or until the dough comes together and leaves the sides of
the bowl. Continue stirring with the fork until all the
flour is worked into the dough. Turn the dough out onto a
lightly floured board. Knead 3 or 4 times until smooth and
manageable.

With your hands or a floured rolling pin, flatten the
dough to a thickness of 1/2". Cut with a 2" to 2 1/2"
floured biscuit cutter. Reroll the dough for more biscuits
if necessary. Place the rounds on the baking sheet 1 inch
apart for crisp biscuits or almost touching for softer
biscuits. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until lightly
browned.

* If you cannot find self-rising flour, substitute 2 cups
all-purpose flour, 1 Tbsp. baking powder, and 1/4 tsp.
salt.

Makes: 12 servings
