MY GRANNY'S OLD-FASHIONED BISCUITS

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.
