Crunchy on the outside and Soft on the inside! BISCUITS!

Today, I was not able to access the internet and found an old cookbook that I used when I first got married.  Thankfully, I used it as a guide to make a biscuit that was crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside - for my husband's preference!  He loved it and went back for seconds!  That is a compliment to me.

Ingredients:

Sift together

• 2 cups flour
• 1 tsp. Kosher salt
• 1 Tblsp. baking powder
• 1/2 tsp. baking soda
• 1Tblsp. sugar                                                                                                                        

Cut in 1/3 cup Crisco
 Add 3/4 cups of buttermilk and then some!

Melt butter in an iron skillet and place biscuits in a row, covering them on both sides with the butter.
Bake at 400 degrees until brown on top - delicious!
