I make biscuits alot, but don't have recipe. I learned from my mother, look and feel of the dough. I do use self rising flour and butter flavor Crisco and milk.
Bisquick has a great recipe on the box. Follow that recipe and I think yhou will be happy with the results.

Let us know how the biscuits turn out. Happy eating.

I hope yours turn out better than mine do... My husband has made the remark that we should save mine and do an addition to the house (hard as bricks!). His mother was a little bitty woman, about 4'10"... could barely see over the kitchen counter, but she could make the best homemade biscuits I've ever tasted. She used crisco, buttermilk, and self-rising flour. Wonderful. Good luck!

Paula Deen's best biscuits! 2 c. self rising flour, 1 1/2 cups whipping cream, 2 T. sugar. Roll out and cut with cutter or glass. Bake at 400 for 10 min or till brown on top.

Nana's Biscuits
4 cups of all purpose flour
6 teaspoons of baking powder
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup or less of sugar
1/2 cup shortening
2 cups milk.
mix all dry ingredients in large bowl, cut in shortening, until crumbly looking, add milk. mix well. roll or pat out dough on a floured surface, about 1/2" thick. ( for really tall biscuits, go with 1" thick) cut with biscuit cutter or drinking glass. Bake on a greased cookie sheet for 15 minutes or until brown in a 350 oven. makes 18 to 24 biscuits depending on the size glass you use.

A friend told me one trick is not to stir or handle too much.

I use this recipe. I use butter instead of the crisco. Handle as little as possible. Keep to a minimum stirring/kneading. The less you touch the dough the better they will turn out. I also make mine thicker than it says. They make big fluffy biscuits. Very soft and tasty. I made biscuits and gravy with these last weekend! Turned out excellent. This is my favorite recipe for biscuits. They have always turned out great!

nana katie 02-05-2011 10:33 AM

I make mine the easy way using my Moms recipe. 2 cups of Pioneer Biscuit mix , 1/2 cup of sour cream, 1/2 cup 7up,or Sprite,or Ginger Ale. Roll out on floured board and cut or ,I just spoon drop them on cookie sheet. Cook til brown on 350. Melt in your mouth good. I've been making them this way for over 40 yrs.

#1piecemaker 02-06-2011 05:56 AM

Very simple. Self rising flour and milk. Mix the two together (not to thick) just until you can handle it. sprinkle a little flour on top and pinch off balls. Put a little vegetable oil in the bottom of your pan and turn your balls of dough over in it so that the top is coated with the oil. Then bake on 350 until done. Can't get any easier than this and sooooooo good.

ksules 02-06-2011 09:29 AM

do you have any Bisquick

Linda Loo 02-06-2011 09:42 AM

I agree with all above. Most any recipe will work IF you keep stirring and/or kneading to an absolute minimum. Also like making mine extra thick.

overdew 02-06-2011 02:49 PM

Never could make a decent one without using BUTTERMILK! If someone had told me sooner, I'd be as big as a house!
1 stick margarine, 2 c. self-rising flour, buttermilk to make a dough(amount varies) 425* oven till brown

Earleen 02-06-2011 03:18 PM

I like to make them with Bisquick.

I use bisquick but instead of using milk as the recipe calls for, I use buttermilk. They turn out light and fluffy every time.

Ragann63 02-07-2011 10:31 AM

Bisquick!!!

knitpick 02-07-2011 12:37 PM

here is a recipe that I have used for years
2 1/4 cups flour
1/4 cup sugar
2 heaping tablespoons baking powder
dash salt
1/2 cup margarine 1 square
1 egg and milk to equal one cup

mix together and roll to 1 inch thick. bake in a 400 degree oven for 18-20 minutes.

you can roll out flat and make cinnamon buns

I have given this recipe to many people

sewNso 02-07-2011 05:10 PM

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.

lynndianne 02-08-2011 05:48 AM

Oh, now I want some sausage gravy and biscuits.
