2 cups flour
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup shortening (I usually use butter. It's yummy.)
3/4 cup buttermilk or milk made sour with 1 tsp vinegar or lemon juice
(they also have a powdered buttermilk that I just tried and really like)
Mix together dry ingredients and cut in shortening (or yummy butter). Add buttermilk slowly and stir with a fork until it forms a soft dough. Growing up we rolled them out and cut out circles, but now we make them into drop biscuits. It's easy and we love them. Bake at 425 degrees for 10-15 minutes.
