Have you ever happily tried out a new biscuit recipe hoping for light and fluffy and getting only heavy and hockey puckey?
Well, thing is most of these recipes have one thing in common…and it guarantees a bad biscuit every time.
Too much fat. Yep, I said it.
Usually, I’m asking you to not be afraid of the fat. But, in this case, too much of the wrong kind of fat will load down your flour causing heaviness.
1.) Whisk together flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and soda.
2.) Add shortening and cut in well using a pastry blender.
3.) Mix vinegar with cream, let sit a minute then add to flour mixture and stir in. You may have to add a tablespoon or two more of cream if dough is too crumbly.
4.) Quickly and gently form dough into a 1″ thick disc on a floured working surface. Cut biscuits with a metal biscuit cutter, not a glass. The rim of the glass is too thick and will smoosh the edges of the biscuits and they won’t rise nicely.
5.) Snuggle them together in an 8 x 8 square or round cake pan.
6.) Bake in a preheated 400F oven for 15-18 minutes.

Made them last night to go with homemade chicken, veggie and rice soup. Easy to make and good flavor! Thank you!

Good biscuits.
I tested the recipe last night, and we plan to make them again soon for biscuits with sausage gravy.
Thank you!
