Buttermilk Biscuits are made with buttermilk and shortening for the most tender and flaky biscuits!
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Make sure oven preheats for at least 15 minutes before baking.
Sift all dry ingredients into bowl. Actually, I never sift, but that’s what the original recipe says.
Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add buttermilk all at once. Stir until dough follows fork around bowl. Do not overmix!
Turn out onto lightly floured surface. Pat out to about 3/4 to 1″ thick. Cut out into circles with either a glass or biscuit cutter.
Bake on ungreased cookie sheet or baking pan for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
