Homemade Biscuits

2 cups self-rising flour, 3/4 cup milk, 1/4 cup melted bacon grease (if you don't have bacon grease you can use regular grease).

Directions: Melt grease in baking pan. Before pouring melted grease out of pan roll it around in pan to coat pan. Mix ingredients together and place on a floured surface with enough flour to take out sticky out of dough. Pat down dough and cut out circles with a glass. Lay biscuits in pan and turn over to grease lightly on both side. Heat oven at 450. Cook for about 20 minutes to light golden brown. Each oven varies so start checking about 15 minutes.....
