Ingredients

Make sure the shortening and baking powder or baking soda are fresh.

Measure the ingredients carefully to ensure your biscuits will rise well and be light and fluffy.

Cut the shortening into the flour using a pastry blender, two table knives, or a wire whisk until the mixture looks like fine crumbs. Thoroughly blending the shortening and dry ingredients produces flaky biscuits

. Treat your biscuits gently—over-handling can toughen the dough.

To make biscuits the same thickness, roll the dough between 2 dowel rods or sticks, 1/2 inch thick and 14 inches long.

Push the biscuit cutter, dipped in flour, straight down into the dough for even-sized biscuits. Cut biscuits as close together as possible.

If you don’t have a biscuit cutter, use a sharp knife or use cookie cutters for fun shapes

. Lightly press—but don’t knead—leftover scraps of dough.

Great tips, there is just one missing. Use only soft wheat flower for biscuits. That will really keep them tender. Oh, yes and buttermilk.

You know, my husband, who makes Sunday Breakfast, has been on a quest of making the perfect biscuit for 20 years. He can bake up a storm. Cakes, pies, cookies, breads of all kinds. He is wonderful ! The allusive, common, fluffy biscuit that he tried to bake you can build your own Stonehenge with. Perhaps it is in one of these basic rules that he has not applied that is the problem. Thank you so much for posting this one. I hope (and pray) that once and for all he reaches his goal of baking the perfect biscuit so that we no longer have to suffer from the cast iron hockey puck syndrom.

A note: He knows that I am telling you this. He agrees. Thank you again. You have the support of a FIVE Forks from the both of us.
