GSN go to the castspic page It was a very simple recipe. It called for self rising flour buttermilk, and a pinch of salt . there was not any measurements or temp settings. the instructoins said mix flour buttermilk salt to a stiff paste form biscuts by hand and bake . I baked at 350 until golden brown .Goodluck Craig

Don't forget down South one of the most popular breakfast plates is biscuits and gravey.

I might add, use that same biscuit recipe and roll out the dough and form it to a pizza pan and it makes a great pizza crust. Scrambble eggs till almost done, put them on and add ham or sausage, cheese and tomato then bake and have a nice breakfast pizza.

Recipe left out the fat. Can't make biscuits w/o fat. Take 2 cups self rising flour, add 4tbl cold veg shortening, lard, butter etc. based on your level of comfort with sat. fat. Mix with a pastry cutter, fork or fingers until the flour resembles coarce crumbs. Then stir in 3/4 cup cold buttermilk and stir only until the dough comes together. Turn out onto a floured surface. flour your hands and the top of the doughball because the dough will be very wet. flatten the mass and fold over on itself 3-4 times until the ingredients combine. Don't over work or the biscuits will be tough. Pat it out until about 1/2 inch thick. cut with biscuit cutter or juice glass. Place on cast iron pan and bake at 475 deg. F for 12-15 min until tops are browned. ENJOY Shoot straight ,T-Bird
