Buttermilk Biscuits

Lesli Dustin
I grew up with these biscuits and they are my family's favorite now too. Best hot out of the oven with honey or jam.

2 cups flour
1 T. baking powder
1/2 t. salt
1/3 cup shortening
1 cup buttermilk

Combine dry ingredients. Cut shortening in. Mix buttermilk in with as few strokes as possible. The less you work the dough, the more tender the biscuits. Pat dough about 1 inch flat. Cut biscuits and place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 425 for 12-15 minutes.
