This is my mother's biscuit recipe. They always turn out light and fluffy, the best. I can't tell you how many of these I have made in my lifetime, but I can assure you they are always greeted with enthusiasm and my dinner guests would be disappointed if I didn't have some of these waiting for them, fresh out of the oven.
36 biscuits
Ingredients
- 4 cups flour
- 8 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup Crisco
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 large beaten eggs
- 1 1/2 cups milk
Directions
1
Sift together flour and baking powder.2
Stir in salt and sugar.3
Cut in the Crisco until the mixture resembles crumbs.4
Stir together eggs and milk.5
Make a well in the dry mixture and stir in the milk mixture with a fork.6
Stir just to moisten, then turn out onto a lightly floured board.7
Knead about 15 times, then pat lightly into a circle, about 1/2-inch thick.8
(The secret to light and fluffy biscuits is to handle the dough as little as possible) With a sharp round cutter, cut out rounds, without twisting the cutter.9
Just give it a sharp tap, then lift straight up (twisting the cutter causes the biscuits to slope over when they are baking) place on a baking sheet.10
Bake at 350°F for 15 to 20 minutes.11
Serve warm.

These came out very good. My dough came out a little wet, but I imagine that was my flour choice. The dough, when I added more flour, was pillowy soft and cut the most perfect looking biscuits. Not one sloped! (thanks for the tip!) and tehy tasted so good that I got up in the middle of the night and ate one! This made a lot of bisuits, I didn't count, but maybe 20.

AWESOME recipe!! I used salted butter instead of the Crisco, omitted the tsp. of salt and had to add extra flour because it was still very wet after I added the milk and eggs. It felt like a very soft pillow while I was kneading it! End results were delicious! Thanks for sharing!!

Well, I certainly agree with the previous reviewer, yes these are the best biscuits!, I have tryed out many different biscuit recipes, and this by far has to be one of the best. I did pat mine down to 1-inch instead of 1/2-inch, we like ours big. I believe the eggs made a difference in the recipes, they had a wonderful taste. I will be making these again soon. Marie, thanks so much for posting, just wonderful!...Kitten

Our first snowfall of the season arrived this morning putting me in the mood to try a new recipe. Marie Alice, I chose to make your baking powder biscuits and am I ever glad I did. They are similar to a tea biscuit recipe that I make on a regular basis, but yours have a different texture and are light as feathers!!! They'll go nicely with the homemade baked beans, scalloped potatoes and cold cuts I have planned for supper this evening. When I bake biscuits I find placing them quite close in a 9" x 13" pan keeps them from "sloping". Many thanks for sharing this recipe. Must browse your other recipes to see what I'll make for dessert
