I mentioned these biscuits in yesterday’s Autumn Chowder post. They are easy to make to accompany soup or any other meal for that matter. Try some tonight!
Buttermilk Biscuits
2 cups flour
1/2 tsp. salt
3 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
3 Tbsp. shortening
1 cup buttermilk (or, 1 Tbsp. lemon juice and enough milk to make 1 cup)
Sift dry ingredients together. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add buttermilk all at once. Stir until dough follows fork or spoon around the bowl. Turn out on floured surface and knead 30 seconds (may need to add more flour if dough is too sticky to knead). Roll 3/8 inch thick and cut with a biscuit cutter or juice glass. Bake on an ungreased sheet at 450 degrees for 11-12 minutes. Makes 2 dozen biscuits 1 inch in diameter.
Enjoy!

Buttermilk biscuits are such a great accompaniment to just about anything! Your recipe sounds lovely – thank you for sharing it.
I just made biscuits and they turned into hockey pucks. Clearly I should have waited for your recipe!

Drea,
Secret… you can just use a whisk to “sift” the dry ingredients together! Gets the lumps out and mixes everything just fine. 🙂
