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.

Tips for Perfect Granny's Bran Biscuits
- Preheat your oven: Always preheat your oven to the temperature specified in the recipe before baking the biscuits. This ensures that they bake evenly and have a crispy exterior.
- Use fresh buttermilk: Buttermilk is an essential ingredient in these biscuits, as it helps to make them tender and flaky. If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes before using.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the biscuits tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined and the dough is slightly sticky.
- Roll out the dough to the right thickness: The thickness of the dough will affect the texture of the biscuits. For soft and fluffy biscuits, roll the dough to about 1/2-inch thick. For crispier biscuits, roll the dough to about 1/4-inch thick.
- Cut the biscuits with a sharp biscuit cutter: A sharp biscuit cutter will help to create clean, even edges on your biscuits. If you don't have a biscuit cutter, you can use a sharp knife to cut the biscuits into squares or triangles.
- Bake the biscuits until they are golden brown: The baking time will vary depending on the thickness of the biscuits. Bake until they are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
