Does anyone have a good homemade biscuit recipe?

Ok, does my heart good to find someone who actually appreciates real biscuits. First you're gonna need about 2 cups all purpose flour, stir it just a bit before you measure it so it won't be packed.


Put the flour in a large bowl then add 2 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1/4 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp salt. I usually use a sifter to help mix all those ingrediants. After it is mixed then add 2 tablespoons of chilled butter and 1/4 cup of chilled shortening, I use Crisco. Cut the butter and shortening in until you have pieces about the size of small peas.


Make a hole in the middle and add 3/4 cup of buttermilk. Stir this in until it is clumping together adding a little more buttermilk if needed.


Put the dough on a floured surface and roll or pat it out until it's about 1/2'; thick. Then use whatever you have, I use a large glass cause I don't have a biscuit cutter, to cut out the biscuits. Bake on the center rack 10 - 12 minutes at 450 degree oven. Have plenty of butter and jam or jelly ready to put on'em when they're done or gravy to pour over them.Does anyone have a good homemade biscuit recipe?
