1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup shortening
3/4 cup buttermilk

Recipe
In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt and baking soda;
cut in shortening. Knead in buttermilk. (The dough will be
sticky, but don't add extra flour; biscuits won't be as light
and fluffy.) Roll out and cut with a biscuit cutter; place
biscuits on a greased baking sheet with sides just touching.
Brush with butter. Bake at 450 for 10-12 minutes or until the
tops and bottoms are light brown. Meanwhile, for gravy, peel
and cut tomatoes into a bowl, reserving the juice. In a
saucepan, melt butter; add flour and stir until browned.
Gradually add water. Stir in tomatoes and juice. Add milk,
salt and pepper; simmer for 15 minutes. Serve over hot
biscuits. Yield: about 10 biscuits and 3 cups gravy.
