Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
• Whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda together in a large bowl.
• Cut butter into flour mixture with a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, about 5 minutes.
• Make a well in the center of butter and flour mixture. Pour in 3/4 cup buttermilk; stir until just combined.
• Turn dough onto a floured work surface, pat together into a rectangle.
• Fold the rectangle in thirds. Turn dough a half turn, gather any crumbs, and flatten back into a rectangle. Repeat twice more, folding and pressing dough a total of three times.
• Roll dough on a floured surface to about 1/2 inch thick.
• Cut out 12 biscuits using a 2 1/2-inch round biscuit cutter.
• Transfer biscuits to the prepared baking sheet. Press an indent into the top of each biscuit with your thumb.
• Brush the tops of biscuits with 2 tablespoons buttermilk.
• Bake in the preheated oven until browned, about 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Use enough buttermilk to make the dough really sticky but still enough to knead and roll out. Mix the ingredients together (add the buttermilk a little at a time). Turn out the dough on a floured board and knead in more self rising flour (but try not to handle the dough too much!). Roll out the dough to about ¼ inch and then fold the dough over to double it and press on it lightly. This fold in the dough will make the biscuits pull apart easily after they are cooked. Cut out biscuits about 2½ inches in diameter using a glass dipped in flour. Re-roll the dough as needed. Place the biscuits in a baking pan up close against each other - this will make them rise higher. Some people put a little bit of vegetable oil in one end of the pan and run the tops of the biscuits through the oil then place them in the other end of the pan. This makes them get crustier and browner on top. Bake the biscuits at 450℉ (230℃) until they are lightly browned (about 15 minutes). Serve with butter, jelly, honey, or filled with bacon, sausage, etc. 1 cup of flour makes about 4 or 5 biscuits, but you can increase the recipe easily, just always use one spoon of shortening the size of a small egg for each cup of flour.

Steps:

• Put all the dry ingredients into a food processor and pulse five or six times.
• Put frozen butter and crisco into the processor and pulse 5 times or until you get a small pea sized texture. Don't over process. (Up to this point you can freeze the mix in a baggie until you are ready to make your biscuits, up to a month.).
• Continuing, add the buttermilk all at once and pulse three or four times, only until the dough is wet. Do not process until it is all mixed or you will get hockey pucks instead of biscuits.
• On a floured surface, pat the dough out into a 9x9 square and cut the square with a very sharp knife into 9 square biscuits. This eliminates the need for rolling the scraps.
• Put the biscuits onto a parchment lined baking pan so they are touching. Dust the tops with flour.
• Preheat your oven to 450 degrees and bake for about 13 to 15 minutes.
• Be careful when you open the oven door - they may float away.
• NOTE: You can use any fat you like including lard, all shortening or butter but I find this combination works best for me.

BUTTERMILK BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
• Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt together in a medium bowl. Rub 2 tablespoons of the cold butter into the flour with your fingertips until completely absorbed. Work the remaining 5 tablespoons of cold butter into the flour with your fingertips until pea-sized bits of butter remain. Use a rubber spatula to stir the buttermilk into the flour until the mixture comes together into a shaggy dough.
• Dust a cutting board or work surface with flour and turn the dough out onto it. Pat the dough into a 1/2-inch thick rectangle. Fold dough in thirds, like a letter, and then pat into a 3/4-inch thick rectangle. Cut biscuits out using a 2 1/2-inch round biscuit cutter and put on the prepared baking sheet. Press together the remaining scraps of dough and cut out more biscuits. Brush the biscuit tops with buttermilk.
• Bake until the tops are lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Cool on the pan at least 5 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
