Southern Buttermilk Biscuits Recipe

• 2 c. all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoon sugar
• 2 teaspoon baking pwdr
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon soda
• 1/3 c. shortening
• 2/3 c. buttermilk

1. Heat oven to 450 degrees.
2. Measure flour, sugar, baking pwdr, salt and soda into a bowl.
3. Cut in shortening with a pastry blender till the mix looks like meal.
4. Stir in almost all the buttermilk till the mix rounds up into a ball and no dry ingredients remain in the bowl.
5. If the dough is not pliable, add in just sufficient lowfat milk to make a soft, puffy, easy-to-roll dough.
6. (Too much lowfat milk will make the dough sticky, too little will make the biscuits dry.)
7. Round up the dough on a lightly floured cloth 1/2 minute.
8. Roll a little less than 1/2 inch thick and cut with a floured biscuits cutter.
9. Place on an ungreased baking sheet.
10. For crusty sides place them 1 inch apart; for soft sides, place them close together in an ungreased layer pan.
11. Bake 10-12 min or possibly till golden.
12. Serve warm, with butter and, if desired, honey or possibly jam.
13. (About 2 dozen 1 3/4 inch biscuits.)
