INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 425F. In a large bowl, sift together flour, salt, soda,
and powder. Using a pastry blender or two knives, cut the shortening into
the flour mixture until coarse crumbs form.
2. Add the buttermilk, tossing with a fork until a dough forms.
3. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Gather into a disk. Knead
lightly a few times until smooth. (The dough may be made up to two hours
ahead, wrapped in plastic wrap, and refrigerated until ready to use.)
4. Pat the dough to 3/4 inch thick. Using a biscuit cutter or a glass
dipped in flour, cut out the biscuits. Place them, two inches apart, onto
an ungreased baking sheet. Gather dough trimmings, pat to 3/4 inch thick,
and cut out more biscuits.
5. Bake until golden brown, about 12-15 minutes. Serve hot.
