Serves: 6
Ready In: Under 30 minutes
Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 Tbs baking powder
3/4 cup buttermilk or use milk with 1 teas. of white vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
6 Tbs Shortening
Directions:
Sift the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
Cut in the lard with a pastry cutter or with two knives until a coarse texture is obtained.
Add buttermilk and knead gently but thoroughly.
The dough should be soft but not sticky: if it is, add a little more flour.
Knead for 1 minute, wrap in foil or wax paper and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
Roll out the dough 1/2 inch thick on a lightly floured surface and cut with a biscuit cutter.
(If you don’t have one, a cup or glass with the desired diameter will work.)
Transfer biscuits to a baking sheet and bake until golden brown, 10-12 minutes.
