Buttermilk Biscuits

Buttermilk Biscuit

Ingredients:

2 cups all purpose flour

1 tbsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

3/4 tsp salt

5 tbsp shortening (for this recipe I used vegetable oil)

1 cup buttermilk (or 1 tbsp vinegar and 1 cup milk)

Mix all the dry ingredients. Add the shortening, mix until the mixture forms coarse crumbs.

Add buttermilk until dough holds together.

Turn dough onto a floured surface. Knead lightly just a few times until smooth.

Pat dough to a 3/4-inch thickness. Using a knife dipped in flour, cut out biscuits.

Place biscuits about 2 inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet.

Bake about 12 to 15 minutes, until golden brown
