GRANDPA'S BISCUITS
This is the way my husband makes his old-fashioned, country-style biscuits. He had never measured the ingedients before we decided to publish the recipe for the grandchildren, so it was a joint effort (a real job) to measure, take notes and photograph as he made them today. The grandkids love Grandpa's biscuits, and they love to help him make them, so this was, most of all, a labor of love. These biscuits are so light and fluffy, I'm confident that you will love them, too! (P.S. Great for dumplings, also!)

Steps:
- **NOTE: Not all 9 cups of flour will be incorporated into the biscuits. Approximately 3 cups will be left when finished. It will be reclaimed, and not go to waste, after the biscuits go into the oven. I recommend using White Lily brand self-rising white flour. If not available in your area, use the finest flour available.
- Place oven rack in center position. Preheat oven to 390 degrees F. Gather ingredients and utensils/equipment. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Place a large sheet of parchment paper, or freezer paper, on a flat work surface.
- Fill an average size flour sifter with self rising flour, to the 3 cup line (about an inch from the top,) and sift into a large bowl, 3 times for a total of about 9 cups of flour.
- Spoon 3/4 cup of butter flavored shortening (Crisco) into the middle of the flour.
- Use the edge of the spoon to cut the shortening into the flour, turning bowl frequently as "cutting in." Work from the center, pulling in a bit of the flour surrounding the shortening with each cut (there will be untouched flour remaining on the outer edge of the bowl; see photos.)
- Continue "cutting in" the surrounding flour until shortening is pea size.
- Pour about 1/3 of the milk over the middle, "cutting in" with spoon and turning bowl as working. Repeat with 1/2 of the remaining milk, then repeat again with remaining milk.
- "Cut in" flour, and dust top of dough with flour, until dough is no longer too sticky to be formed into a ball with hands.
- Loosely form dough into a ball; place on one side of the parchment/freezer paper lined flat surface. Pour excess flour remaining in bowl onto other side of paper.
- Smooth flour over paper; place ball of dough in center; sprinkle dough with some of the flour, and lightly roll dough in flour.
- Pick up dough; lightly knead into a ball with hands, adding a little flour as you go, until dough is barely no longer sticky (do not over-knead or over-flour because you will end up with hockey pucks, lol!)
- Smooth flour on paper; place ball of dough on flour; gently press dough into a circle or oval shape, no more than 1/2 inch thick.
- Use a biscuit cutter, or rim of drinking glass, to cut out rounds of dough.
- Place rounds, flour side down, on foil lined baking sheet.
- Gently form remaining scraps of dough into another oval; repeat cutting rounds until all dough has been formed.
- Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes; remove from oven; use a fork to rub a pat of softened butter over each biscuit; or brush with melted butter.
- Return biscuits to oven, for an extra 3 to 5 minutes, to lightly brown (keep an eye on them.)
- While biscuits are baking, place sifter in a clean bowl or over clean paper; pick up the flour-covered paper; empty remaining flour into sifter; shake and sift over bowl/paper until all that remains are bits of dough; discard dough bits; empty flour into airtight container, seal and reserve for another use.
- Serve hot with softened butter, jam, honey, gravy, country ham, sausage or whatever your heart desires. Keep extra biscuits in an airtight container or bag.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and 3 tablespoons of the sugar.
- In a small bowl, combine the warm water with the yeast and the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar; stir until the yeast is dissolved. Let stand until bubbles appear, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Using your hands, mix the 1 cup cold butter into the flour, breaking the butter into small pebbles, until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Make a well in the center and add the buttermilk and the yeast mixture. Gently fold the flour into the wet ingredients. Keep mixing until a ball starts to form, then gently knead, 12 to 15 times, to create a smooth dough. Cover with a cloth or plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for approximately 1 hour.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface and press out to 1- to 1 1/2-inches thick. Fold the dough in half, press again to 1- to 1 1/2-inches thick, and then fold again. Cut the dough using a 2- to 3-inch round biscuit cutter, depending personal preference. Brush the bottom of a cast-iron skillet with some of the melted butter. Place the biscuits in the skillet; brush the tops with melted butter.
- Bake until golden brown, 18 to 22 minutes, depending on size. Brush again with melted butter and serve immediately.
GRANDMA GERALDINE'S FAMOUS BISCUITS
Eddie Jackson can pinpoint the moment he began falling in love with food: the first time he rolled out homemade biscuit dough with his grandmother Geraldine. She was the head chef at the high school in his hometown, Americus, GA, for more than 45 years, and as a kid Eddie spent mornings in the cafeteria, helping her prep. "Seeing how excited the kids would get as they came through the breakfast line to get my grandmother's biscuits stuck with me," Eddie says. The women in his family have passed down the recipe for generations. This recipe works for drop biscuits or cutouts. "My grandmother would do both," Eddie says.

Steps:
- For the biscuits: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Grease a baking sheet.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and the chilled, cubed butter. Using a pastry blender, cut the butter into the flour until it resembles a coarse meal. Alternatively, combine the flour and chilled butter in a food processor and pulse to combine until it resembles coarse meal, then transfer to a large mixing bowl.
- Stir in the baking powder, salt, sugar and baking soda. Form a well in the center of the flour and pour in the buttermilk. Mix with a fork until all of the ingredients are incorporated and the dough begins to shape into a ball. (The dough will be slightly dry.)
- Dust a clean work surface with flour, coat your palms, and rub some on a rolling pin. Turn out the dough onto the work surface. Knead the dough for 1 to 2 minutes, folding it over onto itself each time. Pat the dough into a rectangle and then roll the dough to about 1/2-inch thick. Dip a 3-inch biscuit cutter or the rim of a 3-inch-wide glass in flour, and then cut out the biscuits. Alternatively, use a knife to cut the biscuits into 3-inch squares. Reshape the leftover dough into a ball, roll it out again, and cut out more biscuits. Repeat this process until the dough is gone.
- Place the biscuits on the baking sheet and bake until the tops are golden brown, 12 to 14 minutes. While the biscuits are still hot, brush the biscuits with the 2 tablespoons softened butter.
- For the butter: Stir or mash the butter and molasses or honey together to combine, leaving a few streaks of molasses visible.
- Serve the flavored butter with the warm biscuits.
GRANDPA'S SPECIAL BUTTERMILK BISCUITS
What makes these biscuits special? I use a soft winter wheat flour, or cake-four, such as Swan's Down or White Lily, to keep the biscuits soft and moist. If you aren't using butter in your biscuit recipes, they won't be as flaky on the outside as they can be. This recipe gives you the benefits of both shortening and flour--as well as the wonderful flavor of buttermilk! Enjoy.

DADDY'S BISCUITS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9-inch cake pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- Using a pastry blender or two table knives, cut the shortening into the flour until it resembles coarse meal. Use a fork to stir in the buttermilk to make a soft dough, or until the dough comes together and leaves the sides of the bowl. Continue stirring with the fork until all the flour is worked into the dough, then turn the dough out onto a lightly floured board and knead 3 or 4 times until smooth and manageable.
- With your hands or floured rolling pin, flatten the dough to a thickness of 1/2 inch. Cut the dough with a 2 1/2-inch floured biscuit cutter. Place the biscuits in the cake round 1 inch apart for crisp biscuits or almost touching for softer biscuits. Bake until lightly browned, 10 to 12 minutes.
GRANDMA WILLIAMS' BISCUITS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Grease three 9-inch pie tins with 2 teaspoons lard.
- Put the biscuit mix in a bowl and make a well in the middle of the flour. Put the lard in the well and add the buttermilk. Gently mix the buttermilk and lard into the flour with your hands until a soft dough forms. If the dough is dry, add a little more buttermilk; if it's too wet, add a little more flour. Coat your hands well with flour and gently form the dough into balls a little larger than a golf ball. Place the dough balls in the pie tins, 7 per tin. Gently press each ball down to flatten.
- Bake until lightly browned on top and the biscuits release from the tins when you give them a shake, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and rub the tops of the biscuits with the butter or margarine. Serve hot!
GRANDMA LOVE'S BISCUITS
I call these Grandma Love's biscuits, but really they came off of the Clabber Girl Baking Powder can, although it is not there anymore. Grandma always served these on Christmas morning or with gravy at Grandpa's request. Twenty years later, they are still my favorite biscuit.
