Buttermilk Biscuits 6 - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 c. all-purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 c. vegetable shortening
3/4 c. buttermilk

Preparation

Preheat oven to 450\u00b0. In a large bowl, combine first 4 ingredients. Using a fork or pastry blender, cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal. Blend in buttermilk until a soft dough is formed. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead lightly 7 or 8 times. Roll to 1/2-inch thickness and cut out with a floured biscuit cutter. Re-roll scraps and cut until all dough is used. Place biscuits on an ungreased cookie sheet about 1-inch apart and bake until golden, approximately 15 minutes. Makes about a dozen to a dozen and a half biscuits, depending on the size of the cutter.
