Old-Fashioned Buttermilk Biscuits

Step 1

Mix in dry ingredients.

Step 2

Cut in shortening.

Step 3

Add buttermilk a little at a time stirring as you go. Stir until it clings together.

Step 4

Knead gently 25 to 30 times.

Step 5

Roll out to a 1/2 inch.

Step 6

Cut biscuits to desired size. (I sometimes make them very large using my Blue Metal Coffee Cup for camping as my cutter.)

Step 7

Place on an ungreased sheet.

Step 8

Bake for 15 minutes at 450 degrees until brown.

Step 9

These are best used within a few days. Keep refrigerated. Makes nice breakfast sandwiches with fried bacon/sausage, eggs, and cheese!
