1 1/8 cups self rising flour
2/3 cup of milk or buttermilk
1/8 cup oil or bacon drippings

Directions:
Blend above ingredients in a mixing bowl. Dump a handful of flour on a pastry cloth or brown paper sack. Dump the blended dough onto the flour. Pour a dash of oil into a cast iron skillet and smear it around with your fingers. Coat the inside of the skillet and the palms of your hands with oil.

Knead the dough for about 30 seconds, rolling it in the flour and thickening it. Halve the dough then halve it again, making 4 pieces of dough.

Roll each piece of dough between your hands, making it into a ball, then put it in the skillet. Use a spoon or a pastry brush and put a little oil or bacon drippings on the top of each unbaked biscuit.

Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake 25 minute. You can also broil or toast them for 1 or 2 minutes.

Makes 4.
