Country Buttermilk Biscuits
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
3 tsp baking powder
2 TBSP shortening
1 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup melted butter or margarine
Combine the first 4 ingredients in bowl. Cut in shortening until nice and crumbly. Add buttermilk; blend well.
Turn onto floured surface and knead gently several times. Pat out to 1/4-inch thickness. Spread with half the butter; fold over to form 2 layers. Brush top with remaining butter. Cut with biscuit cutter. Place 1/2 inch apart in greased 9-inch baking pan. Bake at 400 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes.
As you know, I’m all about buttermilk (Guess my website, Buttermilk Press, clues the world in on that one) - it makes absolutely everything better simply by being on the scene. Biscuits are one of the most obvious examples and are a total fascination with me. I love to try out new Buttermilk Biscuit recipes and try new tricks with old ones.
I made the recipe above for supper tonight and they turned out deliciously - very light and flavorful. 10 on a scale of 1-10!
