There is seriously nothing yummier than warm-out-of-the-oven biscuits with butter and homemade jam (Strawberry-lime-Vanilla or Blood Orange Marmalade are perfect). As a child I spent many hours in my grandmother’s kitchen making these biscuits and I’d have to say it was through this recipe that my passion for baking was ignited.
This is such a simple recipe and really perfect for kids to learn to do on their own. My grandmother’s version is always made with vegetable shortening (impossible to find in Italy) but I have made them with butter as well. They aren’t quite as light and airy but tasty just the same.
Here is the step-by-step recipe for BISCUITS:
Enjoy!

Those scones looked so yummy =)
Your biscuits look lovely and I love that cooking them with your grandma ignited your passion for baking. One of my earliest baking memories was making scones with my granny. I think your photographs are beautiful and I think you improvised scone cutter is a stroke of genius. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
Visiting from soule mama…what a wonderful post! I will be stopping back again…I need to try out that recipe and the instructions are fantabulous…love the biscuit cutter! Where in Italy exactly? I vacationed in Sardinia and could have easily planted myself there…forever!
