I love to make biscuits when I crave hot bread, and this one is quite good and fast to prepare. Paula Deen says this recipe is from Famous Recipes from Mrs. Wilkes' Boarding House. I found it in The Lady & Sons Too! (Paula Deen). I threw a splash of vinegar in the milk instead of using buttermilk and used all butter instead of shortening.

Time 22m

Yield 16 biscuits, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

2 cups self-rising flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon vegetable shortening
2 tablespoons margarine
1/3 cup buttermilk
1/3 cup milk

Steps:

Preheat oven to 450.
Sift the flour and baking powder into a mixing bowl and make a well in the center.
Cut in the shortening and margarine until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal.
Pour the buttermilk and milk into a measuring cup and add enough water to make 3/4 cup.
Pour this into the dry ingredients.
Mix lightly and quickly with your hands to form a dough moist enough to leave the sides of the bowl.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface.
Knead by turning the dough away from you, pressing down with palms of hands, and pushing the dough away.
Repeat 6 or 7 times.
Work the dough into a large ball while kneading. Keep your fingers dry by dipping them into dry flour regularly.
Pinch off portions of dough and place them on a well-greased baking sheet.
Press lightly to flatten the biscuits slightly.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
