-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 c All-purpose flour
3 ts Baking powder
1/2 ts Salt
1/2 ts Baking soda
6 tb Vegetable shortening
2/3 c Buttermilk
HEAT THE OVEN TO 450F. Sift the flour with the baking
powder, salt and baking soda. Cut in the vegetable
shortening until mixture resembles bread crumbs. Stir
in the buttermilk with a wooden spoon until just
blended. Turn the mixture onto a floured surface, and
knead 10 times. Pat the dough into a rectangle
1/2-inch thick. Cut with a 3-inch cutter, and place
biscuits close together on an ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake in the center of the oven for 10 to 12 minutes,
or until golden brown. Serve immediately. Makes about
20. Biscuits can be made a day in advance and covered
tightly in aluminum foil. Reheat in a 300F oven for 10
minutes.
