directions

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
  • Add the shortening and cut it in with a pastry cutter or two knives till the mixture is well blended and mealy.
  • Add the buttermilk and mix with a large spoon till the dough is soft, adding a little more buttermilk if necessary.
  • Turn the dough out on to a lightly floured surface and, using a light touch, turn the edges of the dough toward the middle, pressing with your hands.
  • Press the dough out to a 1/2 inch thickness, cut straight down into even rounds with a biscuit cutter or a small juice glass.
  • If you want to, now is the time to dip each biscuit in the melted butter. Just a quick dip and BUTTER, not margerine.
  • Place the rounds 1/2" apart on a large baking sheet.
  • Gather up the scraps of dough and and repeat the procedure.
  • Bake the biscuits until lightly browned on top, about 12 minutes. Makes about 10 biscuits.
