List of Ingredients

2 cup All-purpose flour
1 tbl Granulated sugar
2 tsp Baking powder
1/2 tsp Baking soda
1/2 tsp Salt
1/2 cup Shortening
3/4 cup Buttermilk (approx.)

Recipe

* To make these biscuits ahead of time, cut the shortening into the dry ingredients and refrigerate for up to one week. A few hours before serving, add the buttermilk, then cover and refrigerate the unbaked glazed biscuits to bake just before serving.
* In large bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. With 2 knives or pastry blender, cut in shortening until crumbly.
* Using fork, mix in enough of the buttermilk to form soft dough.
* On lightly floured surface, gently knead dough 10 times. Roll or pat dough into 1/2-inch (1 cm) thickness. Using floured cutter, cut into 2-inch (5 cm) rounds and place, almost touching, on ungreased baking sheet.
* Glaze: Brush with buttermilk; sprinkle with sesame seeds (if using). Bake in 425 F (220 C) oven for about 12 minutes or until golden brown. Serve hot.
* Makes about 2 dozen.
