Subj : Nat'l Biscuit Month - 1 To : All From : Dave Drum Date : Thu Sep 15 2022 05:27:00 MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06 Title: Harriet's Southern Biscuits Categories: Breads, Breakfast Yield: 8 Servings 1 c + 2 tb Flour 1 ts Baking powder 1/2 ts Salt 1/4 ts Baking soda 2 tb Shortening or lard 1/2 c Buttermilk 1 tb Shortening or lard; for - frying pan Mix the dry ingredients together in a mixing bowl. Blend in the shortening until the mixture is coarse and grainy. Harriet uses a fork, but I have better luck with a pastry blender. Then, using a fork, stir in the buttermilk. Do not overmix. Put on a floured board and knead just a few times. Pat out the dough to about 1/2" thick. Cut with a biscuit cutter or a glass. (Flour the cutter.) Do not handle the dough too much, or it will get tough. Use a heavy black frying pan. Place the 1 tablespoon of shortening in the frying pan and put the frying pan in the oven for about 7 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and place the biscuits in the pan. Turn each once in the oil and bake the biscuits at 500ºF/260ºC for 10 minutes, or until light brown.
