Touch of Grace Biscuits

Merry Christmas Eve!

Serves: 10 biscuits

Ingredients:

Nonstick cooking spray

2 cups Southern self rising flour

1/8 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 cup sugar

4 tbsp shortening

2/3 cup heavy cream

1 cup buttermilk

1 cup all purpose flour

2 tbsp butter

Preheat oven to 425 degrees and spray 8-9" cake pan with nonstick cooking spray. Combine self rising flour, salt, and sugar in medium mixing bowl. With your fingers, work the shortening into the flour mixture until there are no lumps bigger than a pea. Stir in the cream and buttermilk. The dough will be wet and will look like cottage cheese. Spoon a biscuit into the all-purpose flour to coat the outside. Pick it up and shape into a small round while shaking off the excess flour. Place the biscuits into the pan tightly against one another so that they will rise up not out. Bake just above the center of the oven until slightly browned, 15-20 minutes. Then brush with melted butter. Cool 1-2 minutes, then serve immediately.
