Big And Thick Buttermilk Biscuits

Total Time: 30 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 6
• 1 lb self-rising flour
• 1/2 cup shortening
• 1 3/4 cups buttermilk (low fat, if desired)
• 3 tablespoons melted butter
• 1 cup flour, set aside for rolling the dough

Recipe

• 1 in a large bowl mix flour with the shortening. (i like to use my hands). pour in the buttermilk. use a spatula or spoon to blend.
• 2 once mixture is firm, (if mixture is still liquid add a little more flour -about 1/2 a cup) use your hands to knead and fold until the mixture forms a firm dough.
• 3 place the dough on a floured cutting board or hard surface. roll out dough and eventually put into the 9x13-inch baking pan. press dough into the edges of the pan so the dough is laying flat and even across the pan.
• 4 use a butter knife to cut 6 or 8 even squares into the dough. make sure to leave half an inch of space between each square. bake at 350°f for 15 - 20 minutes or until biscuits are slightly golden brown.
• 5 melt butter either in a sauce pan or in the microwave. drizzle melted butter on top of the hot biscuits. serve with jam, honey or peanut butter (my husband's favorite).
