Quick-N-Easy Southern Biscuits - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 c. self-rising flour
1 1/4 c. milk
3 Tbsp. shortening
1/4 stick butter (optional)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 450\u00b0.
Grease baking sheet.
Put flour in a bowl and \"hollow out\" by pushing it to sides of bowl.
Add milk and shortening and pull flour down from edges.
Mix together, forming a ball
of dough.
Shape quickly; less kneading will form fluffier biscuits.
Sprinkle flour on hands and pinch off desired amount.
Roll and pat into shape with least amount of patting for fluffy, tasty biscuits.
Bake approximately 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from oven and butter biscuit tops generously.
Biscuits may be returned to oven if not fully cooked; watch for golden brown color.
Yields approximately 16 biscuits.
