Fluffy White Lily Biscuits
Ingredients
  • 2 cups White Lily® Enriched Bleached Self-Rising Flour or White Lily® Enriched Unbleached Self-Rising Flour
  • 1/4 cup Crisco® All-Vegetable Shortening
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to a high temperature of 475 degrees Fahrenheit (or 245 degrees Celsius for metric measurements).
2
Next, take a large bowl and pour in flour. Using a pastry blender or two knives, work the shortening into the flour until it forms small crumbs.
3
Then, add buttermilk to the bowl and use a fork to gently mix it in just until the dough comes together.
4
After that, take the dough out of the bowl and place it on a lightly floured surface. Use your hands to knead the dough just until it becomes smooth and pliable, working it 5 to 6 times.
5
Roll the dough out into a circle with a diameter of about 7 inches and a thickness of 3/4 to 1 inch.
6
Now, take a small biscuit cutter and dip it in flour. Cut out as many biscuits as possible from the dough, making sure to press down firmly on each one.
7
If you have any remaining dough scraps, gather them together and roll them into a ball before patting them out to the same thickness as before.
8
Transfer the biscuits to a baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each one. For softer biscuits, try arranging them so that the edges almost touch.
9
Finally, bake the biscuits in your preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Remove them from the oven and brush with melted butter to add a touch of extra flavor.
