List of Ingredients

1 1/2 cups All purpose flour
2 tablespoons Baking powder
1 piece Salt
1 tablespoon Shortening
1/4 teaspoon Baking soda
1 cup Buttermilk


Recipe

In electric mixer, combine flour, powder, salt and shortening. Mix until consistency of coarse meal. In separate bowl combine soda and buttermilk; beat with a spoon until foamy and thickened. Add buttermilk mixture to flour and beat until well blended. Don't overbeat. Mixture will be sticky. Turn out onto well floured board, sprinkle top of dough with flour and pat until 1" thick.

Pour enough oil (1/4c) into jelly roll pan (11x7"). Oil should fill pans to 1/4" thick. In second pan pour an equal amount of oil. Cut biscuits with cutter and roll each in the first pan of oil and then place in the second pan. Oil wll cling to dough, which is desirable. Continue cutting and rolling in oil until second pan is filled. Biscuits shoujld be touching each other. Pat top of biscuits with oil from first pan. Bake 500 F, 10-12 mins or until golden. Makes 18 2" biscuits.
