Buttermilk Biscuits

Harper loves her some buttermilk biscuits!!! I made them this morning and before I knew it they were gone!

Preheat oven: 450 degrees

Ingredients:

2 cups all purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 cup vegetable shortening

1 cup buttermilk (chilled)

Directions:

Sift dry ingredients together. Mix in butter and shortening w/pastry blender, fork or fingertips until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Form a well in center of flour and pour buttermilk in. Mix flour in, stirring and working until flour leaves sides of bowl and forms a ball (will be sticky).

Place dough on floured surface and knead 5-6 times. Roll or pat out to about 1 inch thick round. Cut w/biscuit cutter or floured glass. Place biscuits on cookie sheet (make sure they do not touch). Bake 8-12 minutes or until light golden brown. Yummy!
