Biscuits are easy to make and are well worth the effort. This recipe cuts down on the left overs and is so quick you will want to make them all the time.
Ingredients
  • 1 cup flour
  • ½ cup buttermilk (chilled)
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ⅛ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tbs butter (chilled)
  • 1 tbs shortening
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 450 F
  2. Put all dry ingredients in a bowl and mix
  3. Cut in the shortening and butter into the flour mix by rubbing throughout the mixture. It should be crumbly. DO NOT overwork.
  4. Add buttermilk and mix just enough until the dough forms up
  5. Remove the dough onto a floured board and kneed 5 times until the dough is complete formed. Again DO NOT over work
  6. Pat the dough to ½ inch thick and cut out biscuits with a 2 inch cutter (should make about 5)
  7. Bake for 14 to 20 minutes. Most likely it will be the lower time but it will depend on your oven and the thickness of your biscuits
