Basic Biscuits From Paula Deen
No waiting for rise with this recipe! This is the biscuit recipe she used for the country fried steak & gravy, which i posted separately. She, also, preferred to use lard instead of crisco! Great tip in step 4 provided by unknown reviewer. (note granny t suggests you increase salt to 1 tsp)
