Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup shortening
3/4 cup buttermilk
These fluffy biscuits are so tasty slathered with butter or used to
mop up every last drop of gravy off your plate. I can still see Mom
pulling these tender gems out of the oven.
Prep/Total Time: 30 min.
Preheat oven to 450F. In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking
soda and salt; cut in shortening until the mixture resembles coarse
crumbs. Stir in buttermilk; knead dough gently. Roll out to 1/2"
thickness. Cut with a 2 1/2" biscuit cutter and place on a lightly
greased baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
Freeze option: Freeze cooled biscuits in a resealable freezer
container. To use, heat in a preheated 350 oven 15 to 20 minutes.

Review: This is a wonderful recipe. After reading the previous
reviews, I did roll them out thicker so they'd rise taller. They
turned out perfectly! No change to the actual recipe though.
Review: Great, simple biscuit recipe! This recipe also lends itself
very well to additions like cheese or garlic and herb. I did have to
make my own buttermilk, by adding a little bit of vinegar to my milk.
As a feild editor for taste of home magazine I enjoyed classic
recipes let me dress them up a little bit with my own ingredients!
Review: I would make these again but I wouldn't roll it out to 1/2"
thickness. More like 1 1/2". They were too flat & thin. They cooked a
lot faster than it said too so next time, thicker.
