We like these for breakfast and for dinner. Good for strawberry shortcake too! Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups flour |
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/3 cup butter flavor shortening |
1 cup buttermilk |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
2. For 9 thicker biscuits, grease a square 8 or 9 pan. For 12 biscuits, grease a 10x13 pan.
3. Sift dry ingredients. Cut in shortening with pastry cutter or with a fork.
4. When shortening is incorporated, add buttermilk and mix with a fork, being careful not to overmix.
5. Sprinkle flour on dough board. Knead dough until smooth, no more than 8-10 times.
6. For 12 biscuits, roll dough to about 5/8 thick. For 9 biscuits (8x8 pan) roll dough to about 1 thick.
7. Place in pan and bake for about 15 minutes, or until done. You can brush with melted butter before cooking if you like.
