I have been rather dull with recipes and cooking lately. Kind of just doing the same old thing but saw this and thought it would be worthy to share. I will try it soon myself!

My little Mamaw taught me how to make biscuits when I was very young. Preheat oven to 450.

I use 2 cups White Lily Self rising flour, 2Tblsp Baking Powder because where I live nothing rises without it. About a 1/4th cup of LARD, and I mix it with my hands or a fork, (Mamaw taught me hands were made before forks) til it’s crumbly.

Then pour in some buttermilk. Mix it all together. Add more buttermilk if needed to get it all wet. Dump onto a floured surface and fold it over onto itself about six times. Pull in flour as you fold until it isn’t sticky anymore. Roll lightly with a rolling pin to about 3/4” and cut your biscuits. Bake until brown. I sometimes brush tops with butter.

*******I added the can that I use. It’s an 8 ounce tomato sauce can.

Ann, I like it. Have everything but the self-rising flour. I've read more than once that the less handled the dough, the better the biscuit.

I'm so small town the walmart does not have the White Lily flower so I will order it off amazon.

None here either, Ann. I'll just go generic.

Make sure you use a flour ground from Southern grown vs Northern/Western grown wheat. Southern wheat is softer and makes more tender and fluffy biscuits. Northern wheat is better for making bread.

Correct.

I have at hand some Bob's Red Mill pastry flour fine ground from soft whole-grain wheat. Ought to work well, I think.

Ann,

Brings back memories. My mother used to make the best biscuits and biscuits and gravy was a real treat.

I love biscuits and gravy.
