According to my Aunts in Virginia step one is White Lily flour.Her biscuits are awesome and she insists on Whitle Lily. As for the rest of the recipe, who knows? She grabs handsful of stuff and mushes it together in a bowl and then magically pinches off perfectly round, perfectly sized biscuits. It boggles my mind!!
Personally, I buy the frozen kind. Not Pilsbury. They come in a clear package with red writing (I think) and say Southern style biscuits. They are not as good as my Aunt's but they are much nicer than the pop cans.
