INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Sift together the flour, baking powder,
baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add the shortening and cut it
in with a pastry cutter or two knives till the mixture is well blended and
mealy. Add the buttermilk and mix with a large spoon till the dough is
soft, adding a little more buttermilk if necessary.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and, using a light touch,
turn the edges of the dough toward the middle, pressing with your hands.
Press the dough out to a 1/4-inch thickness, cut straight down into even
rounds with a biscuit cutter or small juice glass, and place the rounds 1/2
inch apart on a large baking sheet. Gather up the scraps of dough and
repeat the procedure. Bake the biscuits just till lightly browned on top,
about 12 minutes. Makes about 16 biscuits.

A Message from our Provider:

“Thankfulness to God is a recognition that God in His goodness and faithfulness has provided for us and cared for us, both physically and spiritually. It is a recognition that we are totally dependent upon Him; that all that we are and have comes from God. #Jerry Bridges”
