COUNTRY BUTTERMILK BISCUITS 
4 c. Snowflake self rising flour
About 4 tbsp. Crisco shortening (size of egg)
1 to 1 1/2 c. cold buttermilk

Sift flour into bread tray; add Crisco. Using fingertips work Crisco into flour until it feels like course meal. Add part of buttermilk to center of flour and work flour in. Use more milk as needed until dough is soft and spongy. Clean hands. Dust hands and dough with flour.

With finger and thumb, squeeze off biscuits of desired size. Place on cookie sheet (grease pan if needed). Bake at 500 degrees about 5 to 8 minutes.

NOTE: I brown mine on top lightly before switching to bake. They will burn quickly, so watch them constantly.
