    Title: Mr. Breakfast's Biscuits
    Categories: Five, Breads, Dairy
    Yield: 10 Servings

    8 tb Unsalted butter; cold
    2 tb Shortening; cold *
    3 c Unbleached self-rising flour
    1 1/2 c Buttermilk; cold
    Extra slivers of butter or
    - cream for moistening and
    - brushing

    * Lard works, too. - UDD

    Adjust oven rack to middle position and set oven @
    450øF/230øC.

    Cut shortening and butter into dry ingredients with a
    pastry cutter, or two forks, until it looks like coarse
    meal. Return bowl to the freezer or refrigerator if butter
    becomes warm.

    Stir in milk with a large fork or rubber spatula. Once
    dough starts to clump, bring it into a ball with your
    hands, pressing it into bottom of bowl to pick up scraps.
    If dough doesn't come together, sprinkle in a little more
    milk, and continue pressing on scraps until they
    incorporate.

    On a lightly floured surface, press dough into a rough
    square, then roll out into a about 3/4 in thick. Try to
    handle as little as possible and mix just enough to bring
    the dough together.

    Roll dough out.

    Use a 2" biscuit cutter to cut dough into rounds and place
    about a 1/2" together in a cake pan or 1" apart on baking
    sheet. How far apart you bake them gives you a different
    kind of edge, so experiment. I like my edges soft so I put
    them pretty close together and they end up touching each
    other when finished baking.

    Place a small sliver of butter on the top of each biscuit
    or brush the tops with melted butter or cream.

    Bake until golden brown 12-15 minutes.

    NOTE: If you can't get self-rising flour, use 4 teaspoons
    baking powder and 1 and 1/2 teaspoons salt. You can also
    use regular milk, if necessary, but add it slowly because
    the amount may be less. These go really well with sausage
    or tomato gravy.
