Directions
Biscuits for Biscuits and Gravy,homemade biscuits,Inspired by Chef Dee’s photo, used the dough to top a turkey pot pie. It was very easy to work with and I rolled it out in a Ziplock freezer bag and it fit on top of my baking dish. I did substitute 1 tablespoon butter with 4 tablespoons shortening, since I was “short” on the shortening. Update: I don’t remember using self-rising flour for this recipe, just regular all-purpose plus 1 tbs. baking powder. Roxygirl,There are somehow two recipes strung together on this page (#3857). I am reviewing the first one – steps 1 to 8. They are not very good. The flavor is OK, but there is not enough leaven so they are quite firm and flat. If I were to try again, I would double the baking powder. But there is no need to try again, with so many really good biscuit recipes out there.
