Step 1

Work the shortening into the flour until it’s like coarse crumbs. (I use a spoon to do this). Add the buttermilk and stir until makes a ball in the bowl. You can either pinch off the dough or cut it with a biscuit cutter. I use a tin can because I like to make these biscuits good size like my mama’s biscuits.

Step 2

Grease or spray pan. Bake in preheated 400 degree oven for 15 to 20 minutes until brown on top.

Step 3

This recipe only makes 8 biscuits if you make them like I do.
