Sometimes you want a biscuit and just don’t want to make a whole pan. This recipe is perfect for just two biscuits. I didn’t want to pre-heat my oven to 500 degrees and bake two biscuits for 8 minutes, so I put them in my toaster oven for 10 minutes.
1 cup self-rising flour
2 tablespoons Crisco Shorting (chilled)
1/3 cup buttermilk
In a small bowl add the flour and chilled shorting. Using your hand or fork combine the two ingredients together. Make a well in the middle and slowly work in the buttermilk.
Preheat oven to 500 degrees and bake for 8 minutes (or bake in toaster oven for 10 minutes).
Who can ever eat just one biscuit, Karen? Or just two? Not me.
True, it’s my way of not over eating. I could eat both, but had some fruit too. The weekend is when I make a skillet full.
Actually, this is perfect for me and hubby. I never make biscuits because we will eat the whole pan or the rest of the pan will be wasted. Thanks. for this recipe. A little southern treat every now and then makes a delicious life, don’t you think?
Hi Denice, A southern treat is right! We have to have our homemade biscuits. Maybe next time I can have some homemade jam. Thanks for the comment!
Thanks for this recipe. I have made this several times already. My husband and I are from the South….but he doesn’t eat biscuits often. So, I eat both biscuits. This recipe allows for no over eating and no waste. Perfect.
Hi Jan, Sometimes two is just perfect
Glad you enjoy the recipe and thanks for the comment!
