Preheat the oven to 475°F.
Place the flour and vegetable shortening in a large mixing bowl. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the shortening into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add the buttermilk, stirring just until the dough comes together—be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a rectangle. Fold the dough over itself several times to create flaky layers. Then gently pat it out to about 3/4-inch thickness.
Use a 3-inch biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits, taking care not to twist the cutter. Place the biscuits close together on a baking sheet for softer sides or spaced apart for crispier edges.
Brush the tops with 2 tablespoons of melted butter and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown. Remove from the oven and brush with another 2 tablespoons of melted butter.
Store cooled biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days. Reheat wrapped in foil at 350°F for 10 minutes, or freeze baked biscuits up to 3 months.
No—White Lily's lower protein content is essential to the tender crumb. Substituting changes the texture significantly and won't match the original.
Cold butter or lard will work but produce a slightly different texture. Shortening creates the flakiest, most authentic result.
Bake until the tops are golden brown, about 12–15 minutes. They should be firm on top but still tender inside.
Yes. Shape and refrigerate unbaked biscuits up to 8 hours, then bake from cold (add 1–2 minutes to baking time). Or freeze baked biscuits and reheat wrapped in foil at 350°F for 10 minutes.
Overmixing the dough develops gluten. Handle gently, mix just until combined, and avoid kneading. Keep all ingredients cold.
