Maybe in a pinch but the stuff in a can is not even remotely close to real southern biscuits. Sorry.

You warm the heavy cream in the microwave and the batter comes together in 20 seconds. That's it. Then you just form whatever biscuit size you want with your hands and pop them into the oven for 12 minutes.
Perfectly suitable for strawberry shortcake.

Her technique was using her hands, not a pastry cutter, making sure everything was cold, and she worked fast but very gently. I am not as good as her, and she has passed away, but we had biscuits with homemade soup every Sunday night in the winterāsuch a great memory! Here it is:
⢠2 cups self rising flour
⢠1/3 cup cold Crisco
⢠1 cup cold buttermilk
Start with the flour in a large bowl. Use your hands to ārubā the fat into the flour until pea sized. Use a wooden spoon and stir in the buttermilk with as little stirring as possible.
Turn dough onto floured counter, form a ball gently, pat into a disk and cut the biscuits.
425° for 12-16 minutes. You can brush the tops with butter.
