Biscuits (Southern style)
2 cups AP flour
2 tablespoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup crisco or butter (softened)
1 cup buttermilk
Preheat oven to 450. Sift flour, salt, baking powder together into large bowl. Using a fork, mix in the crisco or butter so that there are no large chunks. Smaller is better in this case. After the fat is mixed in, add 3/4 cup butter milk and mix well. Dough should be soft and squishy but not sticky, if needed add more buttermilk and keep mixing. If it gets sticky, add a bit more flour. Roll dough out into a log and cut into biscuit size pieces (I get 6-8 per batch), bake up to 15 minutes until golden brown, but start checking at 10 min (time depends on humidity and how much buttermilk you added). When they come out of the oven, put them in a towel lined bowl to keep warm. Best served with either fresh jam/preserves or with sausage gravy
