Granny'S Biscuits - cooking recipe

Ingredients

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

Preparation

Preheat oven to 450\u00b0.
Sift flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder into a large bowl.
Mix in shortening with a spoon. Pour milk over flour, a little at a time (the dough needs to be a little stiff).
Add a little flour on a cutting board.
Knead and add flour if dough is sticking to hands.
Roll out dough on board; use a cookie cutter or drinking glass to cut out biscuits.
Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
