Buttermilk Biscuits

Ingredients

Directions

1. 1

   Set aside 1/4 cup of the flour.

2. 2

   Cut shortening into remaining flour.

3. 3

   Add soda to buttermilk, and stir into flour mixture.

4. 4

   Use the 1/4 cup flour you set aside to flour board or counter and knead the dough.

5. 5

   When the dough is easier to work with, roll it out to about 1/2 inch thick. (Don't knead long at all, it will make the biscuits tough.).

6. 6

   Cut with floured round cutter. Bake at 400 degrees F until brown - about 10-12 minutes.

7. 7

   NOTE: I have made these ahead and refrigerated or frozen them.
