Grandma's Buttermilk Biscuits





* 2 cups all-purpose flour


* 2 teaspoons sugar


* 1 tablespoon baking powder


* 1 teaspoon salt


* 1/2 teaspoon baking soda


* 1/2 cup shortening or lard, chilled (see Note, below)


* 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons buttermilk





Preheat oven to 425掳F.





Sift dry ingredients into a bowl. Cut in the shortening with a pastry blender, and add the buttermilk, blending quickly, just until dry ingredients are moistened. A sticky dough will result.





Turn the dough out on a floured board. Flour your hands and knead the dough 3 or 4 times. Important: Do not overhandle the dough. Roll or pat to a 3/4-inch thickness, and cut with a biscuit cutter. Repeat with the scraps of dough. For soft-sided biscuits, place close together on a lightly greased baking sheet or in a lightly greased cast iron skillet (vegetable cooking spray works just fine). For biscuits that are crusty all around, place about an inch apart on a lightly greased baking sheet.





Bake at 425掳F for 15 to 18 minutes, or until golden brown. Makes about eight 3-inch or about a dozen 2-inch biscuits.Whats your favourite biscuit recipe?

My husband and I buy the bag of frozen biscuits. I'm sure there are several brands, but we like Pillsbury best. The bags can be found in the freezer section at the grocery stores. Just pop them into the microwave for a few seconds.
