Recipe Johnny's Biscuits (Bread)

Required Ingredients:

• 2 cups self-rising flour
• 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 tablespoons white sugar
• 2 tablespoons shortening
• 2 tablespoons butter, softened
• 1 1/4 cups buttermilk
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 tablespoons butter, melted

Preparing/Cooking:

• Preheat oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C).
• Spray a 10 1/2 inch cast iron skillet with non stick cooking spray.
• In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt and sugar.
• Cut in the shortening and softened butter with a fork until the lumps are pea size.
• Gently stir in the buttermilk until all of the flour is incorporated; do not over mix.
• The dough should be very wet.
• If not, add more buttermilk to achieve a sloppy consistency.
• Let stand for 2 to 3 minutes.
• Place all-purpose flour in a bowl.
• Spray an ice cream scoop or large spoon with vegetable spray and scoop out dough.
• Drop each biscuit one at a time into the flour.
• Using well-floured hands, pick up each piece and pass from hand to hand lightly to shake off excess flour and shape it into a soft round.
• Place the biscuits gently into cast iron skillet.
• They will be a tight fit.
• Do not mash the biscuits down! Brush tops lightly with melted butter.
• Bake at 475 degrees F (245 degrees C) for 16 to 18 minutes.
• Cool before serving.
