Making Homemade Biscuits Without Shortening?

I have everything to make homemade biscuits, but no shortening, lard, or butter. I do have margarine and oil.

I am pretty sure that you can sub the margarine for butter in any recipe.
Hope they come out great!

You can sub margarine. It has a higher liquid content, but after your first batch you will be able to judge if the next batch will need a tad more flour.
Post your findings.

I have always used liquid shortening. Use the same measure as for solid shortening.

I had the same question and googled it. One recipe had like 2 to 4 tbs. mayonnaise to about 2 cups self-rising flour and some milk. Another recipe incorporated mashed potatoes--like one cup to two cups flour with baking soda.

I am a vegetarian and was thinking of using cashews blended with water to make a thick cream like consistency and using this in place of oil or shortening, but I am hoping the result will not taste - nutty - sort of speak!
Good luck on this, as I am trying to resolve the same question here.

I use butter to make homemade biscuits, but one must not handle the dough very much do not knead it too much to avoid these biscuits turning out tough. Sift your dry ingredients, and then cut the cold butter into the flour mixture just like making a pie crust and then add your milk or buttermilk slowly and work it into the mixture, turn it out on board and knead it very gently and then pat it out to about a half an inch and cut biscuits and place them on a baking tray, you do not need to grease the pan because of the butter in the biscuits, bake them at 375 for 10 to 15 minutes, according to your oven
