I just made a batch of biscuits with a new reciepe, they were about 2 inches high and "almost" perfect. All of the other biscuits I've made have crumbled.
This time
1/2 cup whipping cream
2/3 cup buttermilk
1 table spoon lard
pinch of baking soda
2 table spoons baking powder
1 tsp salt
about 2 1/2 cups self rising flour
I put everything in my mixer,except the flour
mixed until whipping cream was about half stiff.
I added the first cup of flour, blended, and it was still sticky
so I added a half cup more, then another half cup blending
in between, when it was thick enough I turned it out on
a board, floured the board and worked enough in to make it soft
but not stiff, kneaded about 4 or 5 times.
I cut the dough in biscuit size squares and rolled
them over my finger to round them out. Placed them in a cast iron
skillet and baked at 400 for about 13 min.
Best I've made so far.
