Cooking Instructions
- 1
Pre-heat oven to 450°F.
- 2
Dissolve yeast in the warm water and set aside for later use.
- 3
Mix all DRY ingredients by hand in a bowl
- 4
Cut in shortening to the dry mixture with a pastry cutter if you have one. If not, you can cut in using a butter knife in each hand cutting in different directions.
- 5
Add the buttermilk to the yeast mixture.
- 6
Add yeast and buttermilk to other ingredients in the bowl.
- 7
Mix well by hand.
- 8
Pour out biscuit dough onto a well floured surface and pat out by hand leaving a dough that is approximately 1 inch thick.
- 9
Cut approximately 12 biscuits with a biscuit cutter or the edge of an upside down drinking glass.
- 10
Keep cutter or glass edge floured so dough doesnt stick to cutter.
- 11
Crowd biscuits into a "just the right size" well oiled baking pan. (I prefer a glass baking pan.)
- 12
Bake until biscuit tops are golden brown. Approximate baking time is 20 minutes.
- 13
You may keep dough stored in refrigerator for a later baking time. The cool refrigerator temperature keeps the dough from rising until you are ready to make biscuits. The dough will keep nicely in refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- 14
Optional: When biscuits come out of oven, cover with fresh made sausage gravy!

Ms. Kipper Southern Sweet Flaky Biscuits Ms. Kipper Southern Sweet Flaky Biscuits
I love warm southern biscuits .. Slightly sweet and buttery. My grandma used to serve biscuits with sorghum.... Or honey.. Warm.... It mixes fast... I have lupus so when I feel good I try to make several bundles and freeze. Someone suggested putting them in a regular muffin tin to bake... But I just put them in a square pan (6x6) I try to make 9 biscuits... MsKipper -
Buttermilk Biscuits Buttermilk Biscuits
I love biscuits and gravy. My great grandmother made the best biscuits, but she made them with sourdough. I have tried lots of recipes, but this one comes most near to the tenderness and taste I enjoy. Hope you will enjoy too. 1953kenny -

Split them in half and enjoy with butter, syrup, or jam as you like.The story behind this recipeMy husband likes savory biscuits. Sweet scones don't get this kind of reaction from him. さちごはんTranslated from Cookpad Japan -
Buttermilk Biscuits Buttermilk Biscuits
I've tried several biscuit recipes & this is my favorite! I tweaked the recipe a bit when I make it. I always use 1 cup of buttermilk. When I tried 3/4 cup the dough was always too dry & didn't stay together. Also, I mix this in my kitchenaid stand mixer & it turns out fine so you don't have to mix by hand if you don't want to.
