-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon shortening -- plus
1 tablespoon shortening
3/4 cup buttermilk
To make buttermilk:
1 tablespoon lemon juice -- or vinegar
1 cup milk
Uncooked biscuits can be frozen and cooked later. They don't rise
quite as high, but they remain quite tasty. To freeze uncooked
biscuits place the on a cutting board or baking sheet in a single
layer, but put them in the freezer. After 2 hrs, transfer them to an
airtight freezer bag or container. When ready to cook, place frozen
biscuits on a baking sheet and bake normally.
1. Preheat the oven to 450F. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt
and baking soda in a bowl. Using a pastry blender or two knives, cut
the shortening into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse
cornmeal. Add the buttermilk in batches stirring after each addition
until the dough can be formed into a rough ball.
2. Turn the dough out onto a floured board, and press together. Do
not knead. The less the dough is handled, the better. Roll the
dough out onto a 1/2" thick slab. Fold in half, and roll again.
3. Use a biscuit cutter to cut rounds of dough and place them on a
baking sheet. Gather the remaining dough and roll and cut again.
4. Bake for 10-13 min or until the biscuits are golden-brown.
Make your own buttermilk:
Mix 1T lemon juice or vinegar with 1C milk. Let it sit at room temp
until it curdles slightly - about 20 min. Use as needed in place of
buttermilk.
Description:
"Buttermilk gives bisuits a soft texture, but if you don't have
buttermilk, you can still make these biscuits."
