Moist Buttermilk Biscuits

Ingredients:

• 2 cups plus tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 4 tablespoons shortening
• 1 cup buttermilk

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 400° and generously grease a cookie sheet. Mix the dry ingredients together in a mixing bowl, then cut in the shortening until the mixture is crumbly. Pour in the buttermilk and mix lightly. Roll the dough on a lightly floured surface 3/4-inch thick, adding as little extra flour as possible. Cut out the biscuits and place 1-inch apart on the cookie sheet. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes or until golden, then serve hot.
