O'Donnell’s Biscuits

I have been making biscuits for as long as I can remember. At first I used Bisquick, but I soon realized that you could make your own biscuit mix cheaper and better than store bought. I did not have time to take a picture of a batch of biscuits. I Will add it later.

O'Donnell’s Biscuits

1/4 cup sugar

5 cups self-rising flour

2 cups buttermilk

1/2 cup water (If Needed)

1 cup vegetable shortening

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon Cream of Tarter

Preheat oven to 400°. Mix dry ingredients together. Cut in Shorting until small crumbs form. Stir in wet ingredients and knead. Turn onto a floured surface. Pat or roll to ¾ inch thick. Cut into circles and place on baking sheet. Let rest 5 minutes before placing in oven. Bake for 10 - 15 minutes or until golden brown. Brush with butter after removing from oven.
