How to Make Ray Gregg's Batch Biscuits Southern Style

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. In a large bowl (or food processor), whisk together 4 cups all-purpose flour, 3 teaspoons baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  3. Cut in 1 cup shortening using a pastry blender or pulse 3 times in a food processor until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Gradually add 1 1/4 cups milk (or buttermilk, see note below), mixing until a soft dough forms. Add more milk if needed, just until the dough comes together.
  5. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead 2-3 times (or as Ray would say, 'be gentle, like it's fire hot!').
  6. Roll dough to 1/2-inch thickness. Use a 2-inch biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits.
  7. Place biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  9. Serve warm and enjoy!
