Biscuits

My husband's college roommate was a great cook and I still hear stories of some of the southern fabulousness Dave Walker served up. So when Dave posted his biscuit recipe in FaceBook, I knew I had to share! Mark says that when Dave's momma made iced tea, it was so clear and incredibly sweet, it sparkled.

DAVE'S BISCUITS
2 cups all purpose flour (never self rising)
3 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
3 T Crisco (never use oil)
1 1/4- 1 1/2 cups buttermilk

Preheat oven to 475. Put 1 T of Crisco on a 10" flat cast iron baker and put baker in the oven while it is preheating just long enough to melt the Crisco. Mix together the dry ingredients. Cut in remaining 2 T of Crisco with a pastry cutter. Mix in just enough buttermilk to make a slightly soft dough. Turn out onto a floured pastry cloth( mine is over 30 years old and is never washed, just stored in a Ziploc bag). Lightly knead then pat out (never roll) to about 3/4" thick. Cut all dough with 2" biscuit cutter then put biscuits on the baker turning them over 1 time to coat them evenly in Crisco ( this make them golden brown top and bottom). Bake 8-10 minutes then enjoy.
