This came from my Aunt Mary. She did not have a recipe so she and I sat down and she measured by hand then I used my measuring cups and spoons to get the right measurements. Great old-fashioned homemade biscuits.

Yield: about 9 big biscuits

  • 3 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup shortening
  • enough milk to make dough sticky

Measure out all dry ingredients in a large bowl. Using a whisk, mix dry ingredients until well blended. Make a well in center. Add shortening and blend well until good and crumbly. Make another well in center and add milk. Combine together until just well blended. Do not overwork the recipe.
