Cast-iron Cathead biscuits
2 cups self rising flour
⅔ cup shortening
½ cup buttermilk (I make mine with whole milk and a splash vinegar)
A big spoonfull of sugar.
*Preheat oven to 450°F
*Whisk or sift flour and sugar.
*cut shortening into flour until it is crumbly
*add buttermilk
*with floured hands pat out biscuits.
*bake for 15 minutes or until done.
This is my base recipe. I add blueberries sometimes. This morning I added strawberries and a drop lemon extract. I don't measure the add ins. I just add until I like the way it looks. The extract is added to my milk. The fruit is added as I'm patting out each biscuit.
