I hope everyone is doing well and having a happy Friday! Nef typed up his biscuit recipe so that we can add it to our recipe book and I thought we should share it here too, in case anyone is looking for a new amazing biscuit recipe to try. :)

BISCUITS

1/2 Cup Warm Water ( approx. 110* )
2 1/4 tsp. or 1 pkg Dry Active Yeast
1 tsp. Sugar
5 Cups Flour
3 Tbsp Sugar
5 tsp. Baking Powder
1 1/2 tsp. Salt
1 tsp. Baking Soda
1/2 Cup Frozen Butter ( 1 stick )
1/2 Cup Frozen Bacon Grease
2 Cups Milk + 2 Tbsp Lemon Juice. ( buttermilk )
1/4 Cup melted butter for brushing tops

Combine Water, Yeast, and 1 tsp. Sugar in a small bowl and set aside.
Combine Milk and Lemon Juice and set aside.
Combine dry ingredients into a large bowl and mix. Use a cheese grater and grate the frozen butter
into the flour mixture. Use a pastry blender to finish cutting the butter into the mixture. Add the frozen
solid bacon grease and cut in with pastry blender. You should have a crumbly mix. Make a well in the middle
and add the milk. Mix with fork or spatula until almost finished combining and the yeast and continue to mix
until combined. The dough should be on the wet side and very sticky. Place mixture in refrigerator for one to two
hours. ( Best if made night before and left in the fridge over night )

Preheat oven to 425*

Scrape your dough out onto a ( well ) floured surface. Flour your hands and gentle fold the dough on top of itself
four or five times. Add more flour to the surface if dough is sticking. Flour your rolling pin and gently roll out dough
until around 3/4 to 1" thick ( roughly the width of your thumb ). Flour biscuit cutter (before every cut) and cut dough by
pressing straight down do not twist the cutter while cutting. Place biscuits in a butter pan. If you have a large black
iron skillet, I would highly recommend it. With a 3" biscuit cutter will make about 14 to 16 biscuits depending on the
thickness of your rolled dough.

Place in oven for 17 to 20 mins. After about 7 or 8 minutes in the oven brush the tops with butter. Biscuits are done when
the tops are a nice golden brown. If you have a temp probe, bread is done when internal temp is between 190* and 200*
