Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1⁄4 teaspoon baking soda
- 3 tablespoons vegetable shortening
- 4 teaspoons Butter Flavor Crisco
- 1 cup buttermilk
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda.
- Cut in the vegetable shortening and Butter Flavor Crisco until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the buttermilk just until a soft, loose, and sticky dough forms.
- Sprinkle flour over a large wooden board. Turn the dough onto the floured board and knead gently 10 to 12 times, or until it’s no longer sticky. Re-flour the board as needed while kneading.
- Divide the dough in half. Gently pat or roll each half into an 8-inch circle, about 1/2-inch thick.
- Use a 2-inch biscuit cutter to cut out the biscuits, pressing straight down and reforming the scraps with minimal working.
- Place the cut biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet, with the edges barely touching.
- Brush the tops of the biscuits with whole milk.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
