i've made homemade biscuits for 47 yrs. southern girls use self rising flour, and the recipe used to be on the side of the sack. off the top of my head, i think it's 2 cups of flour, about a 1/4 cup of crisco, and milk added gradually, to get a good consistency. add a little more milk, and you can make drop biscuits. a little less and you can roll them out. stir as little as possible as you add the milk. 375 for about 10 minutes.
