Buttermilk Biscuits

I was able to complete four more batches of jelly yesterday and four more today so far. I ran out of sugar so my daughter is bringing some home on her lunch break. I usually can get four to five pint jars of jelly from each batch. I still have about four gallons of juice left. At least I've put a dent in it anyway. I think I will make a big breakfast tomorrow morning. The grape jelly will be so delicious on a homemade buttermilk biscuit. I use my husband's grandmother's recipe for the biscuits also and they are so delicious, so here's the recipe for them if you want to give them a try.

MAMAW FLOSSIE'S BUTTERMILK BISCUITS

2 cups flour
1 1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp baking soda
3 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 cup crisco
1 1/2 cups buttermilk

Melt butter in a cookie sheet or cast iron skillet or whatever it is that you will be baking your biscuits on . Sift dry ingredients together, then cut in the crisco until it resembles crumbs. Add buttermilk and stir gently go moisten dry ingredients. Lay out wax paper and dust with flour. I usually wet the counter then the wax paper will stick to it and you can maneuver your dough a little better without the wax paper moving around. Gently knead and pat out to 1/4 - 1/2 inch thickness. (You don't want to knead your dough too much, it will make the biscuits tough). Cut circles out with a biscuit cutter or the rim of a drinking glass. Drag the biscuits one at a time through the butter and line up on cookie sheet or skillet with butter side up. Bake at 350 degrees for about 10-12 minutes or until they are a light golden brown.
