Biscuits
Ingredients
2 cups cold self rising flour (this is the only recipe I use self rising flour for, I keep mine in the freezer)
1/4 cup cold butter cut into small pieces
3/4 cup cold whole milk (or buttermilk)
1 Tbsp white vinegar (omit if you are using buttermilk)
1/ tsp garlic salt
1 Tbsp bacon grease
Method
1. If you are not using buttermilk, add vinegar to milk and let sit about 5 minutes.
2. Using a pastry cutter (or forks or your hands), mix together flour, salt, butter and milk mixture/buttermilk.
3. Do not overwork the dough! It will be shaggy and a little crumbly.
4. Cover with plastic and leave in fridge for one hour.
5. Grease cast iron skillet with bacon grease. Or grease a cookie sheet or small round cake pan. Heat oven to 500 degrees.
6. Roll dough out to 1 1/4 inch thick. Cut out biscuits with biscuit cutter or round glass. Place in greased pan with sides touching. You should get around 8 biscuits. I can only fit 7 in my pan.
7. Bake in center of heated oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
