Mom's Southern Homemade Simple Biscuits

Submitted by Momma Zakaria

"I grew up loving my mother's homemade biscuits, so I thought I would share the recipe here! They are very simple to make and go great with breakfast, lunch or dinner!"

 

• Ready In: 30mins
• Ingredients: 3
• Serves: 4-6

ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 cups self-rising flour
• 1⁄2 cup milk
• 1 1⁄2 - 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

directions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F.
2. Mix all ingredients well. If dough seems dry, add a little bit extra milk until mixes well.
3. Place dough onto lightly greased cookie sheet in biscuit shapes. My mother didn't even shape them; she would just put globs of dough down and they would be irregular shapes.
4. Lightly dust flour on the top of the biscuits.
5. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.

Do you use a solid form of shorten???

Perfect for what I needed. These biscuits are dirt-cheap to make, ingredient-minimalistic, and pleasantly palatable. I drowned the results in butter. Delicious. Note: My mom used to make these, too.

This is identical to my mothers recipe which I make on occasion. I watched mother make these many times as youngster. Of course, mother didn't measure anything so thanks for posting the recipe withthe exact measurements. These are wonderful in texture and taste.
