I had been on the lookout for the perfect biscuit recipe for years but nothing seemed to work consistently. Every recipe I have tried has been hit or miss. The "miss" usually when I have a house full of people over for brunch. I finally accepted the fact that I was not worthy of making proper biscuits when I came across a version of this recipe on Facebook. I decided to give it one last try and they turned out perfect (see photo above). They are fluffy, moist and delicious every time!
No-Fail Cathead Biscuits
This is an easy recipe for perfect, fluffy biscuits every time.
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbs sugar
1/2 cup solid Crisco
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
1/4 melted butter
Preheat oven to 425 degrees; combine all dry ingredients; cut Crisco into flour until well incorporated and pea-sized lumps form (you can use your hands or a pastry blender for this); mix in buttermilk until a soft, just-barely sticky dough forms; use Crisco to generously grease your pan (cast iron skillets are preferred but not necessary); use your hands to form large, rounded biscuits and place in pan; bake for 17 min or until golden brown; remove from oven and brush with melted butter.
Convenience tip: you can use self-rising flour for this too, just omit the baking powder and salt.
