1. Pre-heat the oven

Pre-Heat the Oven for Nana's Fabulous Biscuits

The first step in making Nana’s biscuits is to preheat your oven to 450°F-500 F. This will give your biscuits a golden-brown finish and the perfect amount of flakiness. Set the oven to the right temperature before you begin and make sure that it has reached the desired temperature before you start baking. This will help ensure your biscuits turn out perfectly every time!


2. Gather the Ingredients

Gather The Ingredients for Nana's Fabulous Biscuits

Before you can begin making your biscuits, you’ll need to gather a few ingredients. You will need 3 cups White-Lily Self-Rising Flour, 6 tablespoons butter-flavored Crisco stick, 1 1/2 cups thick whole buttermilk.


3. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

Mixing the Dough for Nana's Fabulous Biscuits

Begin by mixing the dry ingredients into a bowl – pour your measured out flour into your mixing bowl of your stand mixer and work in the shortening with a pastry blender. Add the buttermilk all at once and stir quickly with a dough hook until flour is all dampened and combined. At this point your biscuit dough is ready!


4. Roll Dough Out and Cut

Roll Out the Dough Nana's Fabulous Biscuits

Turn out onto a floured surface and pat out or use a rolling pin (floured) to 1” thickness (the less you handle the dough, the lighter the biscuits). Cut with floured biscuit cutter and place on a greased baking sheet. I prefer an Iron Skillet because it cooks the biscuits to a golden brown.

5. Bake Biscuits for 15-20 minutes

Bake Nana's Fabulous Biscuits

Every batch of biscuits is different, so use your best judgement to determine the right baking time. You want the biscuits to be lightly golden brown and nice and crispy on the outside, but still soft and flaky inside. Keep an eye on them as they bake and when they’re done, set them aside to cool while you get ready to serve. Enjoy with your favorite topping!

Tips from Nanas’ Kitchen

Tip 1. Pastry blenders are great for getting the shortening mixed in good

Tip 2. Using a hook dough makes it easier on you, plus it mixes the ingredients up much better

Tip 3. If you don’t have a pastry blender, no worries you can use the open end of a glass to cut out your biscuits. I just break off some dough and roll it up and then pat it out into the pan. (You will need some extra flour to dust onto your hands, so the dough won’t stick to you)

Tip 4. Melt some real butter and brush over the biscuits when you take them out of the oven, then butter the insides too. So dang delicious!!

REMEMBER: The less you handle the dough, the lighter the biscuits! Happy Baking and Enjoy!

    5 Tips to Baking with Your Grandkids

    Nana Baking with Grandkids using the 5 Tips to Baking with Your Grandkids

    5 Tips to Baking with Your Grandkids will help you figure out how to make things work without the frustration. Then you and your grandkids will enjoy the baking experience together.

    With the help of my grandkids, I have produced 5 Tips to Baking with Your Grandkids.


    1. Let Them Help Pick a Recipe

    Kids Picking Out Recipe following 5 Tips to Baking with Your Grandkids

    I know, I know, it is hard to teach a child to bake when you have things going on around you and on top of your counter. But primarily, insist that the little ones wash their hands before Ya’ll get started.

    Let your grandchild pick out the recipe and help you with measuring and pouring the ingredients into a mixing bowl.

    When they are little, all you need them to do is stir, if they are older let them blend ingredients together. It makes them feel special and more engaged.


    2. Have a Neat Area for Baking

    Clean as You Go part of 5 Tips to Baking with Your Grandkids

    Have the kids clean up the area before you start baking. Have a place for everything and use it all. For example, put flour in a sifter and put it back on the shelf after it is done being used.

    In fact, it would be a lot easier to go ahead and get the recipe and get all the ingredients measured out and ready before Ya’ll start mixing things together.


    3. Consider Which Task Each Child Can Do

    Consider What They Can Do is an important part of 5 Tips to Baking with Your Grandkids

    The smaller children can help pour and stir the ingredients, while the older one(s) can read the recipe and help measure out the ingredients.

    As your grandkids help you, they will learn how to do things in order, like reading the recipe first, gathering the ingredients, measuring out everything, and how to mix the ingredients according to the recipe.

    You can also teach your grandkids how to work together and take turns doing each task. You can teach them the importance of making sure they have all the ingredients before starting to bake.


    4. Know That It Will Get Messy and Be Ok with It

    Kids Making a Mess Baking 5 Tips to Baking with Your Grandkids

    Lord knows I can’t say anything about my grandkids being messy, because believe me I am too when it comes to baking!

    But I’m ok with that because they are children, and it can and will get messy. When there is flour and sugar involved, it’s going to get on the counters and the floor.

    Let them help you clean up as you go. Don’t stress about it and just have fun. You are making beautiful memories to cherish for a lifetime with your babies.


    5. Most of All Be Patient

    Being Patient with Grandchild is one of the 5 Tips to Baking with Your Grandkids

    If mistakes happen, and they will, don’t go postal! Let them know that mistakes are to be made and it’s ok. Teach them that’s how we learn and the next time they will know what to do to correct it.

    For example, you can show them what happens if you don’t spray your cake pans before pouring the cake batter into the pans or what happens if you don’t follow the recipe step by step.

    This will help them to be more aware of why the steps in a recipe are so important. You can also share some of your baking mishaps and have a great laugh.

    Let them know that no matter how long you have been cooking, mistakes are going to happen and it’s ok. Just learn from them and move on.
