Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 475°F.
- In a large bowl, cut shortening into the self-rising flour using a pastry blender or two knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Mix in finely grated peeled apple, ground cinnamon, sugar, and ground or grated pecans.
- Push the mixture to the edges of the bowl to create a well in the center.
- Using a fork, blend in just enough milk (about 1/2 to 2/3 cup) until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
- Do not overmix, as overblending produces a mealy biscuit rather than flaky layers.
- Gently knead the dough if necessary, then shape into biscuit rounds and place on a baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 12 minutes or until golden brown.
