Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 1 tablespoon bacon grease
- 2 cups self-rising flour (, I prefer White Lily)
- 1/4 cup butter (ice cold)
- 2/3 to 3/4 cup buttermilk (, might need a little more or a little less)
Instruction
- Preheat the oven to 475F with an iron skillet in it if you plan to use a skillet for baking.
- While the oven is preheating add flour to a mixing bowl.
- Using the big holed side of a grater, grate the butter into the flour and stir to make sure the butter isn't in just one spot.
- Pour in 2/3 of the buttermilk and stir lightly with a fork - just until the dough leaves the sides of the bowl. You may need a little more buttermilk.
- Carefully, using a hot pad, remove the iron skillet from the oven to a heat proof surface.
- Brush the skillet with bacon grease.
- If you're using a skillet drop the biscuits by 1/4 cup measure into the skillet, leaving a little room between each.
- If you're not using a skillet drop the biscuits onto a greased, heavy baking sheet.
- Bake for 8 to 12 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- 10. Serve hot.
