Every Saturday Morning the kids would get up early to watch cartoons. Bigmama would be in the kitchen preparing a big country breakfast. The star of the show was always her biscuits. She had several biscuit recipes but this simple one was one of my favorites.

    Place flour in large bowl. With pastry blender or fork, cut (blend) in shortening and butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  3. 3

    Make a well (hole) in center of mixture. Add buttermilk, and mix until dough forms. (Dough will be a little sticky) Note: Use gloves if you don't like to touch wet dough).

  4. 4

    Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Lightly sprinkle flour over top of dough and in your hands.
    Knead dough lightly for one minute. (Dust dough lightly with flour if it sticks).

  5. 5

    Using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll dough out. Fold dough in half & repeat rolling and folding process 4 more times. Dust dough and surface area with flour as needed.

  6. 6

    Roll dough to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut with a 2 1/2-inch floured round biscuit cutter, reshaping scraps and flouring as needed. (I used a glass)
