Larger Batches

If you have more than a couple of people to feed with biscuits, you might wish to use a list of ingredients which produces larger batches.

  1. Crisco® or other solid vegetable shortening is recommended, but lard, bacon grease, or any other solid shortening may be substituted.
  2. Substitute (if desired): mix 1 tsp lemon juice into 1 cup whole milk, let sit for 5 minutes before use.
