If you cannot find White Lily Flour in your area you can purchase it online at Amazon, Smuckers or Soap.com.

Pressing down the middle helps prevent this thus making a prettier biscuit. This is what I have found from watching my mother make biscuits as a small child. She always pressed the middle down.

I will print this off for my daughter. :) We always intend on measuring it out but never remember too. We also used melted lard on the tops of the dough instead of melted butter. WE always seemed to have a iron skillet with meat grease on the stove all the time.

Coat skillet with lard and well. Put in oven at 400, it has to be 400 for the metal to expand properly. do this for an hour. take out put aside in safe place and let cool. Then wipe it out. now your cast iron is properly seasoned. NEVER EVER USES SOAP OF any kind on your seasoned cast iron. you want to clean it well then use salt water. Salt is anit bacterial and a good scrubber. you use any soap and you will be getting rid of all the things that make the flavors and seasoning of the skillet. take care good eats. 36duckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09491966424259023522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8390396285139687239.post-66342451949251861792012-01-05T08:26:05.763-06:002012-01-05T08:26:05.763-06:00I just found your site and love it.

It never hurt the conditioning but did take off the grime. And, I guess, since salt was used to preserve food and stop bacteria growth, it definitely doesn't hurt. <br /><br />Thanks for the reminders of those past memories.Michele J.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8390396285139687239.post-73210239184748942852011-12-24T20:18:55.941-06:002011-12-24T20:18:55.941-06:00Just found your site a few days ago.

We are true southerners and we press our biscuits with our knuckles because it helps them rise more evenly. We do the same with hamburgers - this way the center won't puff up but will be more flat across. Just found your site and I love it - hence, new follower.
