How to Make Quickest Biscuits

  1. Preheat oven to 500°F (260°C).
  2. In a large bowl, cut 1/2 cup Crisco shortening into 2 cups of all-purpose flour using a pastry blender or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Add 1 cup buttermilk and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Place a well-seasoned cast iron skillet in the preheating oven. Add 1 teaspoon of Crisco to the hot skillet.
  5. Lightly flour a clean work surface.
  6. Turn the dough out onto the floured surface and gently knead 2-3 times to bring together.
  7. Lightly flour a rolling pin and roll the dough to about 1/8-inch thickness.
  8. Fold the dough in half.
  9. Cut out biscuits using a 2-inch biscuit cutter or a drinking glass.
  10. Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven.
  11. Place biscuits in the hot, greased skillet, turning once to coat both sides with the melted Crisco.
  12. Bake in the 500°F (260°C) oven for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown.
  13. Serve immediately and enjoy the best, quickest biscuits you've ever eaten!
