Prize Biscuits

Submitted by Rita P

"These can be made fresh each time you make them or you can use the dough from the previous time for a slightly sourdough taste, that improves with age."

 

• Ready In: 30mins
• Ingredients: 3

directions

1. Cut shortening into flour, add buttermilk.

6. This can go on indefinitely.
