Baking Biscuits

I have been trying to learn to make homemade biscuits. You know the ones like our grandmother's made when they took a big bowl of flour and made a well in the middle, poured in some buttermilk, added some crisco, and shaped them with their hands. I think I have finally mastered them. Here are the ones we had tonight before they went into a hot oven.

When I first started making them, my husband didn't like them at all. He likes biscuits that are soft on top and bottom. After some experimentation, I have discovered cooking them on my pizza stone works best. It keeps them from getting too brown on bottom. Makes for good biscuits and a happy husband. You can't beat that! Here they are hot from the oven and golden brown. Yummy!
