Buttermilk Biscuits
List of Ingredients
2 cups All-purpose Flour
1 tsp. Salt
1 tsp. Baking Powder
1/2 tsp. Baking Soda
3 1/2 tsp. Powdered Buttermilk
1/4 cup Butter-flavored Shortening
3/4 cup Water
Recipe
Pre-heat the oven to 450-F degrees. Lightly grease your
baking sheets; set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, salt,
baking powder, baking soda, and powdered buttermilk.
Add the shortening, and mix with a fork until the
ingredients resemble a fine cornmeal. Add the water;
quickly blend it throughout the mixture.
Turn the biscuit dough out onto a lightly floured surface
and knead for about a minute. The mixture will be flaky,
so work quickly to keep the dough together.
Pat or roll the dough out until it's about 3/4-inch thick,
then cut into 2-inch circles with a lightly floured cookie
or biscuit cutter.
Place the raw biscuits on the prepared baking sheets as
you cut the dough. Bake for about 13 to 15 minutes, or
until the biscuits are golden brown.
Serve warm with whipped butter
