My mother made homemade biscuits every morning of the life she shared with my Dad. It was the 1st thing she taught us to cook. She used selfrising flour, A huge (heaping)tbl of shorting, mixed it together with her hands until you have pea sized pieces. Next was the buttermilk. No measuring for her. then she had flour on a piece of waxpaper. She patted the dough out and cut the biscuits. Baked them on a greased cookie sheet at 450 until golden brown.
I buy the pillsbury southern style frozen biscuits. I pour some vegetable oil on a pizza pan and take each frozen biscuit and turn each one in the oil until both sides are coated. I think the bag says to bake at 375 but I always up it to 400 degrees. Makes the best biscuits you will ever eat. they are so crispy on the outside and perfect on the inside, every time.
