Grandma Johnson's biscuits

[White Lily recipe, makes 12]
Ingredients
2 cups White Lily Enriched Unbleached Self-Rising Flour1/4 cup butter or shortening3/4 cup buttermilk or milk2 tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 475°F. Place flour in a large bowl. Using a pastry cutter or fork, work butter or shortening into flour until crumbs are the size of peas. Add buttermilk, stir with a fork just until flour is moistened. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Gently roll dough with a floured rolling pin until 1 inch thick. Cut out biscuits using a floured 2-inch biscuit cutter or the rim of a cup. Place biscuits on a baking sheet where the edges touch. Reform the scrap dough to make additional biscuits. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven. Brush tops with butter and enjoy.
[Grandma Johnson's way, makes ~20]
Ingredients (Remember--"Just eyeball it!"):
• 5.5ish cups of White Lily self-rising flour
• 3/4ish of a cup of Crisco shortening
• 2.5ish cups of buttermilk
• Butter (to grease the pan and rub on the cooked biscuits)
Instructions:
• Grease a baking sheet with butter & preheat oven to 470°
• Measure and sift the flour into large bowl #1
• Measure out 31 heaping spoonfuls of flour from bowl #1 and place into large bowl #2
• Make a 'well' in the flour left in bowl #1
• Add shortening to bowl #2
• Use your hands to incorporate the shortening into the flour until it's "like a pea shape"
• Add 1 cup buttermilk to bowl #2 and mix -- do NOT overmix!
• Add more buttermilk (by the 1/4 or 1/2 cup) and continue mixing
• At this point, the dough will be very wet!
• Add the dough to the 'well' in bowl #1
• Start adding some of the dry flour to the dough, all the way around the bowl, rolling the dough to incorporate some of the dry flour into the dough until the dough isn't very sticky to the touch. "Just work your pan. Don't get too much flour. Get enough to make 'em soft... and that's it!"
• Go clean your hands. :)
• Put some of the dry flour onto your (clean) hands
• Grab a ball of dough off of the side of the dough mound, roll it into a ball, place it in the corner of the greased baking sheet and press it with your knuckles
• Repeat until you've filled your baking sheet (Grandma made 21 biscuits in this video)
• Bake 20 minutes. (Check after 15 minutes!!!)
• Remove your biscuits from the oven.
• Take your stick of butter and rub it alllllll over the tops of the biscuits
• Flip the biscuits over. Rub the butter allllll over the bottoms!!
• Flip the biscuits upright
• Cut the biscuits open and insert butter or cheddar cheese into them!
• Share your biscuits with family and friends. :)

    Tammie, I would bet that if given the opportunity, Maria would probably tell you her husband or boyfriend has cooked plenty of times. You should work on not interjecting your sensitive feelings into the comment of others. Just relax and enjoy the lessons that are to be learned on KZread. By the way, I am a man, and not once did it cross my mind that I need to bring my wife to watch the video to learn how to make biscuits after reading Maria's comments. I watched the video, so maybe I could learn. The true meaning, I believe behind Maria's comment is that we all could learn a lot from our elders, if we would quit be critical and looking for fault because we want everyone to see just how "woke" we are. Experience keeps a wise and precious school.

I had NEVER of White Lily flour until I married in 1980 😱😁, and I moved to my husband’s home state of South Carolina.

    This is exactly how it was at my grandmother's house when my dad was overseas in the Vietnam war while we stayed with my grandparents. My cousins were always over, we had birthday parties, walked up to the lakefront market together for a candy bar, chased the goose in the backyard for fun, and picked the blackberries in my Grandmother's garden. I remember putting the berries in a pretty basket with a blue and white checked cloth napkin. When the evening rolled around, she'd read us a story from Grimm's 365 Bedtime Stories while Grandpa was still at work. That was the life! We were self-quarantined on purpose because that's where all the love was - at Grandma and Grandpa's house!

And when she said "I just eyeball it," well, that's one of my phrases because of them. She brought up so many memories that I'm grateful I found this video. She makes her biscuits the same as my grandmothers' too, except they both used iron skillets. I remember that one of them would also leave the oven door ajar after she finished cooking to help heat the house (she was very frugal!)

    Loved the video. I was the youngest grandchild, so I don't recall everything. I stayed with her for several months during my preschool and kindergarten-partial 1st grade. Don't recall her making biscuits (probably did though), but I watched her make/bake bread, dinner rolls 2x a week, every week without fail. I recall watching her hands as I could barely see over the table being seated. She made Ant Cake, aka (Banana Cake). I saw black things in it and asked what they were, she always replied "ants". I BELIEVED HER! She'd always top it with homemade peanutbutter frosting. 1x week she'd make potatoe salad. My Grandma Alice Pearl canned everything imaginable. If someone in Funk Nebraska had too much of something, they'd drop it off/give to her their overflow as she was a widow caring for 2 grandsons after her oldest daughter died in childbirth. I recall every wrinkle in her face and hands. The woman was a work horse. May she enjoy Heaven for Eternity. If only I could have been old enough to ask her about the old days. I miss her so much. I have grown sons. 44 & 47. Only 1 is married. Not one grandchild to my name. Unamerican!
