Ingredients
Instructions
- Sift the self-rising flour, baking powder, and confectioners sugar together in a bowl.
- Cut in the Crisco until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour in the buttermilk and stir until just combined; the dough will be very soft.
- Pour the dough out onto floured wax paper.
- Pat down the dough and cut out biscuits using a cutter or glass.
- Place the biscuits on a baking sheet and bake at 500°F until golden brown, about 10 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, use chilled Crisco and buttermilk to help the biscuits rise. If you don’t have self-rising flour, you can substitute it with all-purpose flour and add 1 tablespoon of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Handle the dough gently to keep the biscuits light and fluffy. Consider adding herbs or cheese for added flavor, which pairs beautifully with Vegetables For Brunch.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these biscuits warm, ideally straight from the oven, with butter or honey for a delicious treat. They make a fantastic side with fried chicken or as a base for biscuit sandwiches filled with sausage or eggs. For a complete meal, consider pairing them with Oven Baked Potato Wedges for a satisfying comfort food experience.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-7 minutes until warmed through. You can also microwave them for about 15-20 seconds, but they may lose some crispness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I freeze the biscuits?
Yes, you can freeze the biscuits before baking. Cut them out and place them on a baking sheet to freeze individually, then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
What if I don’t have buttermilk?
If you don’t have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by mixing 1 cup of milk with 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice. Let it sit for about 5 minutes before using, which will mimic the acidity and help with the biscuit’s texture.
How can I make the biscuits fluffier?
To achieve fluffier biscuits, make sure not to overmix the dough after adding the buttermilk. Additionally, using a light hand when patting out the dough can keep them airy. Consider using cold ingredients to maintain the right texture.
