Ingredients:
- 1 1/8 cups self-rising flour
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1/8 cup buttermilk
- Bacon drippings
Instructions:
-
Blend Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour, milk, and buttermilk, blending them until a smooth dough forms.
-
Prepare Work Surface: Prepare a clean surface for rolling out the dough. You can use a pastry cloth, a brown paper sack, or even newspaper for this step.
-
Coat with Flour: Sprinkle a handful of flour onto your chosen surface to prevent sticking.
-
Transfer Dough: Transfer the blended dough onto the floured surface.
-
Prepare Skillet: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour a dash of oil into a skillet and spread it evenly using your fingers, ensuring the entire surface is coated.
-
Coat Hands with Oil: Coat the inside of the skillet and your hands with oil to prevent the dough from sticking.
-
Knead Dough: Knead the dough for about 30 seconds, incorporating more flour as needed to thicken it slightly.
-
Divide Dough: Divide the dough in half, then halve each portion again to yield 4 equal pieces.
-
Shape Biscuits: Roll each piece of dough between your hands to form a ball, then place them in the prepared skillet.
-
Add Toppings: Use a spoon or pastry brush to lightly coat the top of each unbaked biscuit with a little oil or bacon drippings.
-
Bake: Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
-
Broil/Toast: For an extra touch of crispiness, you can broil or toast the biscuits for 1 to 2 minutes after baking.
-
Serve: Remove the biscuits from the oven and serve them warm, either on their own or with your favorite accompaniments.
