2 cups flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. sugar
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1 Tbsp. baking powder
5 Tbsp. shortening (You may use 1/2 vegetable shortening (solid) & 1/2 butter)
1 cup buttermilk
Preheat oven to 450 degrees (F). Sift dry ingredients. Then cut in butter with pastry blender or use your hands. Make a well in the middle, pour in
buttermilk, and using a fork lightly mix until flour is moistened thoroughly. On floured surface, knead 3 times. Pat dough out until 1/2
inch thick or thicker if you like. Cut into rounds with an inverted drinking glass or a biscuit cutter. Set biscuits into a greased pan so
that their edges touch. Bake 12-15 minutes at 450 degrees.
