Biscuits, Biscuits, Biscuits

3 kinds of biscuits, 3 kinds of delicious. Hand rolled biscuits, great for that everyday meal. Bacon Cheddar biscuits, great for anytime but delicious with soups and stews. Scooped biscuits, great for breakfast, smothered with sausage gravy. Hand Rolled (Tami's Biscuits) Preheat oven to 450 degrees 3 cups self rising flour 1/4 cup shortening 1 cup buttermilk 2 Tbsp melted butter Add flour to bowl. Make a well in center. Add shortening. Work shortening into flour. Add buttermilk and mix well. At this point, you might want to wash your hands unless you used a spoon. With floured hands, pinch off dough as big or small as you want. Roll between palms until smooth. Place in pan, pat down. Bake 9 minutes, remove from oven, brush with melted butter, bake additional 9 minutes. Bacon Cheddar (Stephanie's Biscuits) Preheat oven to 425 degrees 2 3/4 cup self rising flour 1 tsp salt 1 cup butter (2 sticks, cut into cubes, keep cold) 1 cup cheddar cheese, mild, sharp, or mix of both 1/2 cup bacon, crumbled 1 cup buttermilk 2 Tbsp melted butter Grease pan. Mix flour and salt, cut in butter until pea size. Add buttermilk, mix well. Add bacon and cheese. Stir together. Flour board, roll biscuits with a rolling pin. Fold dough over onto itself, re-roll dough to about 1/2 inch thick, cut out with biscuit cutter, dipping in flour to keep it from sticking. Go straight down and up. Do not twist cutter. Place on greased pan. Brush with melted butter. Bake 12-15 minutes until golden. Scooped Biscuits (Parkers and Grams) Preheat oven to 425 degrees 3 cups self rising flour 1 stick butter, cubed and kept cold 1 1/2 cups buttermilk pinch salt Stir salt into flour. Cut butter in until pea size. Stir in buttermilk. Dough will look wet. Scoop out with ice cream scoop. Place on pan sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Bake 15-18 minutes until golden. Keep in mind, all ovens are different. The baking times given are what worked perfect in my oven. Enjoy!
