2 cups self-rising flour
1 1/2 cups buttermilk (plus more if necessary)
1 spoonful Crisco (plus more to grease the pan)
Melted butter

Heat oven to 425 F. In a mixing bowl, combine self-rising flour, buttermilk and spoonful of Crisco. Mix until ingredients form a soft dough. Grease the inside of a large cast-iron skillet with additional Crisco. Lightly flour hands. Scoop a spoonful of dough and gently toss back and forth between hands until it forms a rough biscuit shape. Place biscuit in the skillet. Repeat, shaping biscuits and placing them in the skillet until it is full. The biscuits should sit close together. Bake until golden brown. Remove from oven and brush butter over the tops while warm.
