GRANDMA'S SOUTHERN BUTTERMILK BISCUITS
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 F.
- In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda and sugar.
- Cut in butter-flavored shortening with a pastry cutter.
- Grate in butter, tossing occasionally.
- Stir in buttermilk until dough is wet and sticky.
- Generously flour a work surface.
- Turn dough out onto floured surface.
- Sprinkle a little flour on the dough and your hands and begin to gently knead and fold the dough.
- Add more flour as needed, but not too much, just enough so that the dough is manageable. Wet dough makes the best biscuits!
- Fold the dough over several times.(This will create layers.)
- Pat the dough out into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
- Dip the biscuit cutter into flour and cut out the biscuits. (do not twist the cutter)
- Place biscuits on pan, with the sides touching.
- Brush tops of biscuits with a very light coating of mayonnaise.
- Bake for 14 minutes or until tops are golden. (For a dark golden color, flip the oven to a low broil for the last 2 minutes. Be sure to keep your eyes on it at all times)
- Remove from oven and brush with butter.
- Serve warm.

Steps:
- Use enough buttermilk to make the dough really sticky but still enough to knead and roll out. Mix the ingredients together (add the buttermilk a little at a time). Turn out the dough on a floured board and knead in more self rising flour (but try not to handle the dough too much!). Roll out the dough to about ¼ inch and then fold the dough over to double it and press on it lightly. This fold in the dough will make the biscuits pull apart easily after they are cooked. Cut out biscuits about 2½ inches in diameter using a glass dipped in flour. Re-roll the dough as needed. Place the biscuits in a baking pan up close against each other - this will make them rise higher. Some people put a little bit of vegetable oil in one end of the pan and run the tops of the biscuits through the oil then place them in the other end of the pan. This makes them get crustier and browner on top. Bake the biscuits at 450℉ (230℃) until they are lightly browned (about 15 minutes). Serve with butter, jelly, honey, or filled with bacon, sausage, etc. 1 cup of flour makes about 4 or 5 biscuits, but you can increase the recipe easily, just always use one spoon of shortening the size of a small egg for each cup of flour.

GRANDMA'S BUTTERMILK BISCUITS
I use to stand at the work table where my Grandma would work all her magic.. She made all her doughs in this big wooden bowl. One day I ask why she didn't use another bowl and she told me all that love she used had soaked into that one. And that's the reason why her breads and pastries were so good. It had to be so... they were...

CHEF JOHN'S BUTTERMILK BISCUITS
This deceptively simple recipe can come out a million different ways with some very minor variations on the ingredients and amounts. This one's my favorite - flaky, but not dry; chewy, but not tough; crisp in just the right spots.
