Touch of Grace Biscuits are tender, flaky Southern-style biscuits made with a unique blend of White Lily self-rising flour, shortening, and rich buttermilk. These biscuits are delicately coated in all-purpose flour to create a soft, comforting texture and baked to a golden finish, perfect for breakfast or as a delightful side with any meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1½ cups White Lily® Enriched Bleached Self-Rising Flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon Morton kosher salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons Crisco® All-Vegetable Shortening
  • ½ cup cold heavy cream
  • ¾ cup regular buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons melted salted butter (optional, for brushing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 450°F to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for baking the biscuits to a golden brown.
  2. Prepare Baking Pan: Lightly spray an 8-inch round cake pan with no-stick spray and set it aside; this prevents the biscuits from sticking and helps achieve an even bake.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients and Shortening: In a medium bowl, combine 1½ cups White Lily self-rising flour, sugar, and kosher salt. Cut in the shortening using a pastry blender or two knives until the mixture resembles peas in size.
  4. Add Cream and Buttermilk: Stir in the cold heavy cream, then the buttermilk, mixing until the dough becomes very loose and cottage cheese-like in texture.
  5. Coat Dough Pieces with Flour: Place 1 cup all-purpose flour on a plate or shallow bowl. Using a 2-inch ice cream scoop, scoop 2-3 pieces of the wet dough onto the flour, leaving space between each. Sprinkle the dough pieces fully with flour. With floured hands or a flour-coated spatula, gently pick up each piece, lightly toss between palms to shake off excess flour while shaping into a round biscuit.
  6. Arrange Dough in Pan: Place around 10 loosely formed biscuits in the prepared pan, first positioning 7 around the outer edge, then 3 in the center, gently pressing each biscuit against the next to keep them touching.
  7. Bake Biscuits: Bake the pan in the center of the oven for about 20 minutes, or until biscuits are lightly browned on top.
  8. Cool and Finish: Let the biscuits cool in the pan for 1-2 minutes before carefully turning them out onto a platter. Optionally, brush the warm biscuits with melted salted butter for added flavor and shine. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Using White Lily self-rising flour creates a lighter biscuit texture typical of Southern baking.
  • Do not over-handle the dough to preserve tenderness; the dough is intentionally loose.
  • Coating the wet dough pieces in all-purpose flour forms a thin skin to hold the biscuit shape during baking.
  • The biscuit count is approximately 10 per batch using a 2-inch ice cream scoop.
  • Brushing with melted butter after baking is optional but adds flavor and a beautiful finish.
