This is the buttermilk biscuit recipe I use most often, although I am always trying new biscuit, scones and bannock recipes. With this recipe I have substituted for the shortening butter or lard. Shannon
Buttermilk biscuits 2 cups all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup shortening 1 tablespoon sugar-optional 3/4 cup buttermilk In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; cut in shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in buttermilk; knead dough gently. Roll out to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut with a 2-1/2-inch, biscuit cutter and place on a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake at 450 degrees for 10 - 15 minutes or until golden brown. _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list [email protected] http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark
