| Yield: | 12 biscuits |
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 1/3 cup powdered milk
- 5 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 stick (8 tablespoons) cold butter, cut into bits, plus 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/2 cup shortening
- 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Stir together the flour, powdered milk, baking powder, sugar, cream of tartar and salt in a medium bowl. Using a pastry cutter, cut the chilled butter bits and shortening into the dry mixture until blended thoroughly. Fold in the buttermilk until the dough comes together.
- On a lightly floured surface, turn out the dough and use your hands to press it into a circle measuring 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick. Cut out circles with a biscuit cutter or a glass. Place the biscuits in cast-iron skillets, then brush the tops with the melted butter. Bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes.

Reviews
I think these are the best biscuits ever I love them and everyone else does also please try them and follow the directions they are so easy and quick it’s like in the old days these biscuits are delicious!
This is my Go To biscuit recipe. I bake them in anxiron skillet and they’ve turned out every time.
I hope someone will review these. I mixed the dough exactly according to directions. It was the constituency of thick icing. I chilled it in hopes of being able to work with it. I added extra flour when attempting to cut out biscuits. I have not cooked them yet since I was going to flash freeze them and bag for later use. I will try some this evening though. Is the recipe correct???
