Grandmother'S Buttermilk Biscuits - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 c. buttermilk
about 3 Tbsp. shortening
1/2 tsp. soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 Tbsp. baking powder
2 c. flour

Preparation

Work shortening into buttermilk.
Add soda, salt and baking powder.
From a sifter, stir flour into mixture to the proper consistency.
Choose now to either flour the dough and cut out biscuits or add dough directly to a greased pan from a tablespoon for drop biscuits (in which case less flour is used for a thinner consistency).
In either case, bake at 425\u00b0.
