List of Ingredients
2 c. flour
2 tsp. sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. soda
1/3 c. shortening
2/3 c. buttermilk
Recipe
Heat oven to 450. Measure flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and soda into bowl. Cut in shortening thoroughly, until mixture looks like meal.
Stir in almost all the buttermilk. If dough is not pliable, add just enough milk to make a soft, puffy, easy-to-roll dough.
Round up dough on lightly floured surface. Knead lightly 20-25 times, about 1/2 minute. Roll a little less than 1/2 in. thick. Cut with floured biscuit cutter. Place on ungreased baking sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
