Rhett butler's biscuits

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
5 cups Self-rising flour
⅓ cup Sugar
1 cup Shortening
2 packs Yeast; dissolved in 1/4 cup lukewarm water
2 cups Buttermilk
Butter; melted

Directions

Here is a recipe for really good biscuits. I got it from a cookbook that was given to me in Georgia. The name of the cookbook is Lovejoy Plantation Cookbook. I'm not sure if this is the "southern" recipe you are looking for, but the name sounds southern and they do taste great! Sift dry ingredients. Cut in shortening. Add yeast and buttermilk. Mix well. Chill 1 hour. Roll and cut. Set aside to rise 1 hour in warm place.

Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Brush with melted butter as biscuits start to brown. Continue to bake until brown. These can be made and refrigerated up to 10 days ahead.
