A recipe from my mom on how she made Hardee’s biscuits.
Difficulty:
Servings: 9 biscuits
Prep Time: 10 min Cook Time: 15 minIngredients
1 1/2 cups self-rising flour (Mom used White Lily)
1 Tablespoon sugar
1 Tablespoon baking powder
6 Tablespoons shortening
1 cup of buttermilk
Directions
Mix dry ingredients. Cut shortening into flour mixture, and slowly add buttermilk. Pour onto floured board and knead gently. Roll out into about a 1” thickness and cut with biscuit cutter. Oil iron skillet and bake in hot oven at 450 for about 15 minutes (brown to personal preference).

My SECOND time making these biscuits which turned out beautifully and ever so tasty. If this is compared to the Hardee’s restaurant biscuit, I have to agree. I however like this biscuit over the Hardee biscuit. I followed the recipe exactly, it is a winner just as it is. Also makes wonderful cinnamon biscuits. A keeper for sure.

I made these for the first time this morning and they are great! Not dry at all,(sometimes I have had that problem with other recipes) and easy to make. I will be using this recipe over and over. Thanks!

I love that you found your mom’s recipe and posted it here. Here’s what I did with it. I mixed the dry ingredients and then divided it into two batches. I transformed one half into Suzanne’s cheddar bay biscuits and the other half into her pecan honey biscuits and then baked them in the same skillet. Yes! This was a bit of a hassle, but I HAD to have both, and there’s only two of us. I guess the point is that this recipe was a wonderful base for those add-ins, and I can’t wait to try it again in its original version. I miss Hardee’s biscuits so much! Thanks to you and Mom.
