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.
Yummy! We add about 1/2 cup shredded cheese into the biscuit batter, and then top them with a melted butter and garlic combo before we take them off the cookie sheet. They taste just like biscuits from Red Lobster. I might have to go make some right now.
