DH is wanting homemade TALL country style biscuits. I have NEVER made that particular kind. If anyone has a sure-fired recipe we would appreciate it!

I just use self rising flour and buttermilk and make them as tall or big as you want. Let me know when they are ready. ;-)

Nana's Biscuits
4 cups flour
6 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup shortening
2 cups milk
Mix dry ingredients. cut in shortening until crumbly. Add milk. Roll or pat out on a floured surface. For really tall biscuits, pat out dough to 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick. Cut with biscuit cutter or drinking glass. Bake on a greased cookie sheet for 15 to 20 minutes. Makes about 18 to 24 biscuits.

I use Housdon creme "self rising"
Cooking oil
Buttermilk

Mix together good roll out on biscuit sheet use a glass or biscuit cutter put in a well greased pan i use a 9&13 pan i also put a little oil over my biscuits. when u take them out i always cover them with paper towel and a clean dish towel Bake at 450*

never heard of Housdon creme - what is that. They may not have that here.
What can be substituted?

Sure can be do you have White Lily self rising flour.

Housdon Creme Flour is just a wonderful brand of flour that i have use for many years i just love it hope this helps you (:)

Be sure to have your oven hot! That's the secret.

I googled Housdon Creme Flour and there was nothing.

thanks for the recipe

Maybe she means Hudson Cream....it is milled about 30 miles north of where I live in KS.....this flour is exceptional....a food judge told me once that she can tell by taste and texture when a baker uses this flour....I never buy anything but this one....
