I love making biscuits. I use 2 cups of self-rising flour, a hefty tablespoon of shortening, about 1/3 cup of light(low fat) sour cream and enough fat free buttermilk to make a soft/sticky dough. Dump it on to my floured board(all purpose for flouring the board, never self-rising), knead about 4 times then pat in to a large circle. Using my rolling pin, I level the dough to the height I want. I always use a sharp biscuit cutter, never twist! Place on a lightly sprayed pan, biscuit sides touching and bake for 10 minutes in a pre-heated 450 degree oven. A little piece of Heaven on Earth ;-)
