I need a shirt which reads, “I *heart* breakfast” because I really might love the morning meal almost more than my family some days (Don’t panic…I said almost).
That being said I usually eat wheat toast and fruit most mornings to maintain a boring ol’ healthy lifestyle.

Let’s make this Easy Pass the Biscuits Recipe

On those special days when I welcome such things as butter, sugar, and more sugar into my breakfast genre, I like to whip up fun breakfast creations. Lately, such breakfast creations have involved some type of biscuit making as I am attempting to teach myself the art of baking tasty bread.

This is a great biscuit recipe because you can make it at night and then toss it in the oven in the morning while you are still bleary-eyed and waiting on the coffee to perk.

Ingredients in making this easy Pass the Biscuits recipe

  • 4 Cups SELF-RISING FLOUR (must use self-rising and not all-purpose)
  • 2 Tbsp. sugar
  • 2/3 cup Shortening
  • 2 cups buttermilk

Directions in making this easy Pass the Biscuits recipe

Step 1

Sift together flour and sugar into a large bowl (don’t skip this or you will have lumpy biscuits)

Step 2

Cut in shortening until mixture resembles a big bowl of crumbs (don’t you love my explanations….I should really write a cookbook one day )

Step 3

Stir in buttermilk with a fork until soft dough forms.

Step 4

Place the dough out on a floured surface and knead 20 times….20, no more, no less. I count out loud which makes me look a bit crazy but perhaps my children are learning something in the process.

Step 5

Here is where you are faced with a decision: You can either cover the dough in plastic wrap and stick it in the fridge until the morning or you can go ahead, roll it out (one-inch thickness), and cut out your biscuits. Then you simply cover the cut-out biscuits with a towel and head off to bed for a solid eight hours of sleep.

Step 6

In the morning stick those bundles of yumminess into a preheated 425-degree oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

Yield: 15 biscuits
