Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 5 tablespoons Crisco or other solid shortening (I like "butter flavor" best)
- 1 cup buttermilk (see notes for substitutions)
Instruction
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Make sure oven preheats for at least 15 minutes before baking.
- Sift all dry ingredients into bowl. Actually, I never sift, but that’s what the original recipe says.
- Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add buttermilk all at once. Stir until dough follows fork around bowl. Do not overmix!
- Turn out onto lightly floured surface. Pat out to about 3/4 to 1″ thick. Cut out into circles with either a glass or biscuit cutter.
- Bake on ungreased cookie sheet or baking pan for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
