Ingredients:  
2 c. self rising flour
1/2 c. Crisco
Buttermilk
Directions:
Directions:
In a big bowl, add flour and Crisco. With a knife or pastry blender, "cut in" the Crisco until it is very fine. Add buttermilk until the mixture is "soupy". Sprinkle your hands and the top of the mixture and knead..... and knead, and knead....the dough. pinch off a hand full of dough and roll it in your hands and place on a baking pan (preferably a cast iron skillet). After you have rolled and placed the biscuits on the pan, flatten them with your fingers. Bake in a preheated oven at 400º until done.

Note: My Granny never measured anything. When she made biscuits, she mixed everything in the bowl - she never rolled them out or used a cutter. I sat and watched her make biscuits for over 40 years and mine have never been as good as hers, and they probably never will be. She was an "old fashioned" Southern cook and, when she went to be with the Lord, her recipes went with her because they were all memorized.
