MY GRANNY'S OLD-FASHIONED BISCUITS
A simple, basic buttermilk biscuit with minimal ingredients. It's an old-fashioned recipe everyone should have handy. If you follow Elaine's directions, once baked the biscuit is perfectly flaky and fluffy with a little tang from the buttermilk. They're melt-in-your-mouth good.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Heavily grease a large cast-iron skillet or biscuit pan and set aside. (I prefer the cast iron skillet).
- 2. Put the flour into a large bowl and add lard/shortening.
- 3. Cut into flour using the usual pastry method.
- 4. Add buttermilk and mix with fork or hands.
- 5. Mix into a light dough.
- 6. Turn dough onto a floured board and knead a couple of times.
- 7. Pat dough to flatten to about 1/2 inch thick. Using a biscuit cutter, cut dough into biscuits.
- 8. Place cut biscuits in the prepared pan.
- 9. Pour melted shortening/butter over each biscuit.
- 10. Bake for about 13 to 15 minutes or until golden. Remove from pan and place into a covered container and allow to steam for about 5 minutes. You may also brush melted butter over top prior to steaming (if desired).
- 11. Serve hot with butter, apple butter, jellies, jams, honey, or anything else that you like.
- 12. Special Note: I didn't have a biscuit cutter, so what I did was open both ends of a 4-ounce sized mushroom can, washed and removed the label and it works perfectly.

Steps:
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- Grate your butter using a cheese grater and stir into the flour mixture OR cut butter into small pieces and use a pastry cutter to cut the fat into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal or sand.
- Gradually pour in the buttermilk or milk, stirring until the dough just comes together.
- Turn the dough out onto a clean countertop and form it into a ball.
- 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.
- 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.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425*F Prepare baking sheet with liner or non-stick foil and set aside. In a large bowl combine flour, sugar, salt, baking powder & cream of tartar. Mix well. Toss in cubed butter. I like to take my stick of butter (3/4 cup) and cut it length wise, then turn it on it's side and cut it lengthwise again. You'll have 4 long pieces now. Then slice it and crumble butter into flour mixture. Using a pasty blender or forks, mix butter into flour. Don't over due it. You want to still see chunks of butter so don't mix it so well that you don't see them. In a small bowl, combine milk and egg - mix well. Add milk mixture into butter mixture and mix well. Spread additional flour onto a counter. Put biscuit mixture onto flour surface. Sprinkle biscuit dough with flour and roll out until 3/4 - 1 inch thick. You should see chunks of butter still in dough. Using the rim of a glass, cut out biscuits and transfer to a prepared cookie sheet. Bake in oven for 10 - 15 minutes or until golden color. Serve immediately and enjoy!
OLD-FASHIONED BISCUITS (FROM MY GREAT RECIPE CARDS)
These are really good - but sometimes in my oven 15 minutes is not quite enough so watch closely to make sure they are not underdone and when adding a couple minutes make sure they don't become overdone.
