RECIPE​

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 CUPS SELF-RISING FLOUR (WHITE LILY)
  
• 1/4 CUP GRANULATED SUGAR
  
• 1/3 CUP SHORTENING
  
• 1 CUP WARM WHOLE BUTTERMILK
• 1 1/2 TSP. FAST RISE YEAST
  
• 2 TBSP. WARM WATER (NOT HOT)
  
• 1 1/2 TSP. GRANULATED SUGAR
  

1. Combine warm water, Yeast, and 1 1/2 TSP. of the sugar in a small bowl and set aside.
2. Use a whisk to combine flour and 1/4 cup sugar. Cut in shortening with a blending fork until mixture is crumbly and shortening is pea size.
3. Add buttermilk and yeast mixture until combined. Sift flour onto top of dough and knead 2 to 3 times, adding flour so dough is manageable to roll out.
4. Cut out biscuits or use your hands and pinch off a small part of dough (about 1/8 cup) and roll in your hands. (See the YouTube video for a demonstration.)
5. Place biscuits on a greased aluminum sheet pan. Bake at 500 degrees until light golden brown. Approx. 10-15 minutes. Butter tops of biscuits. Flip biscuits upside-down to cool. 

Optional: Sweet Cream Spread
​ Mix up a cream cheese spread (2 parts soft cream cheese with 1- part preserves of your choice) with a fork. Best served on warm biscuits.
