I got this recipe from my 4-H days. I've tweaked the instructions a little, and am always pleased with the result. Ingredients:
2 cups self-rising flour |
1/4 cup shortening |
1/4 teaspoon baking soda |
3/4 cup buttermilk |
Directions:
1. Set aside 1/4 cup of the flour.
2. Cut shortening into remaining flour.
3. Add soda to buttermilk, and stir into flour mixture.
4. Use the 1/4 cup flour you set aside to flour board or counter and knead the dough.
5. When the dough is easier to work with, roll it out to about 1/2 inch thick. (Don't knead long at all, it will make the biscuits tough.).
6. Cut with floured round cutter. Bake at 400 degrees F until brown - about 10-12 minutes.
7. NOTE: I have made these ahead and refrigerated or frozen them.
