Recipe(tried): Bojangles Biscuits (Repost)

Hi Sue!

I posted this recipe a while back on the copycat board here at TKL. I got this recipe from my local paper probably about 15 years ago so its definately a tried and true at my house! Don't know that this is "THE" recipe but it sure is a very close copy.

Take care :)

Bojangles Biscuits
Makes about 1 dozen

2 cups self rising flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons confectioners sugar
1/2 cup solid vegetable shortening (such as Crisco)
1-1/2 cups buttermilk
Melted butter (about 1/4 cup)

Stir together the flour, baking powder & 10x sugar. Cut in the shortening until pieces are about the size of grains of rice. Stir in the buttermilk (you may need less buttermilk, start with 3/4 cup and add more as needed). Knead a few times, roll out on a floured board or counter top to 3/4-inch thickness. Be careful not to work dough too much or add too much flour, or you'll have dry biscuits. Cut with an oversized biscuit cutter (about 3-inches). Place on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake about 12 minutes in a preheated 450 degree oven.

Enjoy!
