JAMES BEARD'S MAMA'S BISCUITS
These easy-to-make biscuits are "out of this world" according to famed and award-winning chef James Beard. Perhaps he liked them so much because he grew up eating them - they are a specialty of his mother!

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- 2. In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
- 3. Cut the chilled shortening into the flour mixture with a pastry blender until the mixture forms coarse crumbs.
- 4. Add the buttermilk, mixing with your hands until the dough holds together.
- 5. Place the dough on a floured surface and knead lightly a few times just until smooth. Don't overwork it.
- 6. Flour a rolling pin and roll the dough to 1/4 to 1/2 inch thickness.
- 7. Cut the biscuits with a biscuit cutter. ( My mama used a glass to do this.)
- 8. Place the biscuits 2 inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet.
- 9. Gather the trimmings from where you cut the biscuits and form them into a ball.
- 10. Roll it out and cut more biscuits. ( When these got to small to make another biscuit my mama left the last weird shaped one and called it the funny biscuit. All the kids wanted that one.
- 11. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.
MAMA'S ' BESTEST' BISCUITS
My kids named 'em this 'cuz they is so good! LOL Great with soups, stews, jams, jellies or just by themselves. Who ever said homemade was hard just didn't know Mama! Extra note: Edited 3/07 to answer questions and help you make these come out perfectly. You can even add garlic powder and cheese to make those 'famous restaurant type' biscuits, BUT BETTER. Edited 8/08 to add yes these are basic biscuits. To add additional flavor try adding in herbs and seasonings as stated in the previous edit above. Onion powder, garlic powder, fresh cracked black pepper, herbs like oregano or rosemary. You could even brush the top with melted butter when done baking or add some Butter Buds or Molly McButter if you like. This also doubles very easily. and again 11-08 This dough is very wet and sticky. Make sure your hands are well floured and gently press into shape to knead- do not knead vigorously, you will have a mess. Gently pat and use a kneading motion to gently fold the dough into itself and form into a square shape.

Steps:
- Mix flour, milk and mayo together, reserving the second measure of flour for the board.
- Add the second measure of flour to the board and coat your hands. Turn out the dough onto the floured board or counter top. Sprinkle some extra flour on top of the dough. Just enough to make the dough easier for you to work with and not so sticky. You want to get it just to the not too sticky point but not add so much flour that they become dense. It is hard to say how much as this varies with the climate and humidity.
- Knead lightly just until the dough is smooth-about 6 times. The less you handle it, the better the biscuits!
- Pat into a square shape and make long cuts with a very sharp knife from top to bottom and then side to side--like a tic tac toe board and you will havce 9 biscuits. Add one extra line to make 12 squares. I usually cut to make 12, but make them as large or small as you like.
- Place on lightly greased or sprayed cookie sheet just a tiny bit apart- about 1/2 inch- and bake at 450°F for 15 to 20 minutes or until browned on top.
- Brush the tops of biscuits with butter or spray with butter spray and serve immediately.
- Note: Don't have any self-rising flour? Add 1 tsp salt and 1 T baking powder to the flour.

- The secret to excellent biscuits is COLD BUTTER. Really cold. Many times the biscuit dough gets worked so much that the butter softens before the biscuits even go in the oven. Try cutting the butter into small pieces and stick back in the fridge pulling out only when ready to incorporate into the dough.
- Use a pastry cutter to cut cold butter into flour mixture. Don't go too crazy here - you want to see small, pea-sized pieces of butter throughout the dough.
