Mom's Fluffy Biscuits
Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 5 tablespoons shortening
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon melted shortening, or as needed
Instructions
1
First, set the oven to a high heat setting of 450 degrees Fahrenheit or 230 degrees Celsius.
2
Meanwhile, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a mixing vessel. Introduce shortening into the mixture and use a utensil to break it down until the ingredients are well combined into small, uniform pieces.
3
Gradually add milk to the mixture in small increments and continue stirring until a cohesive dough forms into a spherical shape.
4
Then, roll out the dough on a surface dusted with flour to an even thickness of 1/2- to 1/4-inch. Use a cutting tool to shape the dough into biscuits of your preferred size.
5
Next, submerge each biscuit in a small amount of melted shortening to coat it evenly.
6
Place the biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet, leaving enough space between each biscuit to allow for even cooking.
7
Finally, bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes.
