Pingback: Vidalia Onion & Bacon Burger Bombs plus a Vidalia Onion $1000+ giveaway! Gently re-work the dough to get more biscuits cut.
Using monkfruit sweetener does not change the recipe when it comes to taste of anything you make, which is why I love using it!

If I can’t find full fat buttermilk, can I sour whole milk and use that? , I am 68 yrs old finally making biscuits thanks to you ! She’s been making them since she was 8 years old – for 76 years!
Thank you for the recipe! Would this work with lower fat buttermilk?
Re-form scrap dough, working it as little as possible and continue cutting out biscuits until all of the dough has been used. My husband has tried many biscuit recipes through the years but this is by far the best.
Add in the milk and eggs. yes, that’s right.
Melt a couple more tablespoons of butter & brush that on top of the freshly baked biscuits.
Learning how to make great biscuits isn't hard, just follow the recipe!
The biscuits are awesome! Otherwise the butter is yummy!
Using your fingers, work the shortening in with the flour in a large bowl until the flour appears crumbly, about the size of little peas. I hope that you love them as much as we do! Be sure to push straight down through the dough. I made substitutions with my first batch and was very disappointed. I'm a Southern foodie, a 'trying to be' homesteader, mom, widow, antique lover, & a self declared biscuit connoisseur. Stir in the buttermilk with a wooden spoon.
at 500? I do! Could you substitute lard for the Crisco here?
Now, my Mama’s biscuits taste like none other. Sugar – I use monkfruit sweetener for a sugar substitute, 1 Tablespoon Monkfruit Sweetener or Sugar.
They look wonderful.
melted butter for brushing on top of the biscuits, **In the pictures below, I doubled the recipe**.

Start with 3/4 cup & add a little more if need be.
Once you have gotten as many biscuits out of the dough, re-work the dough to get more biscuits out of the remaining dough. They turned out perfectly.
He had to split every biscuit he ever ate in half to remove all the ‘dough’ with the one exception of Mama’s biscuits. Gently roll the dough out making sure not to over work it. If you are a regular viewer of my weekly menu plans, you will see buttermilk biscuits on every single one. Create a well in the center of the mixture to act as a receiving well for the wet ingredients. And you can use regular milk but full fat buttermilk is going to be SO much better. They butter creates the softness and flakiness of the homemade biscuits.
These homemade biscuits are buttery, soft, and flaky, you would never think they are made from scratch. They are a ‘must’ at most Sunday dinners, and really at any other meal during the week. Used what I had on hand which was cheap coconut oil, Gold Meal self rising flour and low fat buttermilk.
500 degrees is perfect, trust me!
I still eat my biscuits this way I love the happy memories I have of my grandfather when I do. Knead by gently by folding the dough over onto itself 6 to 8 times. Bake another batch. Keep butter and milk cool until ready to use. Bake for about 12 minutes, until lightly browned. Do not twist the cutter until the dough has been cut all the way through.
Pa would eat his biscuits with a mixture of butter and honey… OHHH so good! They will be at my Christmas Eve morning breakfast for 25! Can I add baking powder or baking soda to this reciepe? It’s like milk goes with cookies – but biscuits go with everything. This brings back memories of my moms biscuits.
Perfect and delicious and easy! Serve warm.
