After trying quite a few biscuit recipes, this one is the fluffiest...
Ingredients
1 1/3 Cups Flour (White Lily)
2 1/2 Teaspoons Baking Powder
1/4 Teaspoon Salt
1/2 Cup Crisco
2 Teaspoons Sugar
1 Beaten Egg
1/2 Cup Buttermilk
Start with all ingredients at room temperature. Preheat oven to 425.
Sift together 1 1/3 Cups Flour and 2 1/2 teaspoons of Baking Powder. I like to use a mesh strainer and tap it till the flour and baking powder goes through.
Stir in 1/4 Teaspoon of Salt and 2 teaspoons of sugar.
Cut in the Crisco till the mixture is crumbly. Do not overmix.
Stir together egg and buttermilk.
Make a well in the middle of dry ingredients and stir in the milk mixture with a fork stirring just enough to moisten.
Turn mixture out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead about 15 times and pat into a circle about 1/2 inch thick.
Cut out rounds with a cutter dipped in flour. Do not twist cutter. Push straight down and lift straight up.
Add to baking sheet and bake for about 30 minutes at 425 and serve warm on a decorative server.
