Biscuits

Good, basic Southern-style dinner biscuits.

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Mix:

• 1 c. Flour
• 1/2 tbsp. Baking Soda
• 1/4 tsp. Salt
• 1/4 tsp. Baking Powder

Add a little at a time:

• 3 tbsp. chilled Vegetable Shortening

Rub shortening softly between forefingers to incorporate the flour. Continue until all the shortening is reduced to oatmeal flake-size pieces.

Stir in:

• 1/2 c. Buttermilk

Spread dough on floured surface, cutting into biscuit-sized circles. Place on a cookie sheet on the center rack for about 12 minutes, until golden brown.
