1960 Original Kentucky Buttermilk Biscuit - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup shortening

Preparation

Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Cut in shortening.
Add buttermilk; mix well.
As told in recipe, look for a texture like \"velvet\". If sticky, dust with flour and work till smooth as velvet and either roll out by hand or on a floured surface 1/2-inch thick and cut.
Bake at 450\u00b0F for 15-25 minutes on a lightly sprayed pan. Depending on oven, just make it golden brown. (Brush tops of biscuits with butter when you take them out of oven for a nice finish and taste).
