Can you get White Lily Flour( self rising) ? If so, just follow the directions on the side. I can cook most anything ,but when we first got married I could not cook biscuits, they were hard or doughy. So I bought White lily and followed the recipe,wha la, success!,preheat oven to 500º How does your oven cook? Does it cook fast ,have hot spots? I use a dough blender to blend shortning(works best if cold) to pea-size pieces. Then add milk in well in center, stir just until dough forms and most of flour has been incorporated. Turn out on floured countertop (i use waxpaper)and knead with the the heel of your hand twice, should feel like a fluffy pillow, then I flatten gently with my hands to the thickness I prefer and cut out all I can get on the dough at one time(the less its handled the better)Gather leftover dough & gently knead and repeat.Place in a greased pan, sides touching for soft ,apart for crunchier crust. And the big secret**** Bake for 10 to 12 minutes at *** 500º.**** makes them rise fast! They come out looking like a picture and with a crust that is crunchy and an inside that is flaky/crumbly and moist.I thought the recipe had a mistake, so I called DM & MIL and they both said yes 500º. I cook approx 45 bicuits every Sunday morn before church at my MILs for whoever shows up( about 10-15 of us) and there is nothing left for the poor dogs standing begging at the patio door. :lol: Added* The racks in my oven are at 2nd & 4th notch Also check biscuits starting at 5 min, I don't leave mine until they are done. And MIL oven cooks faster than mine,so hers is at 450º Just watch the tops & bottoms the first couple times and adjust. Good Luck :D :-D
