Courtesy of Mr. Food Test Kitchen 8 Servings • 10 Min. Cook Time| Ingredients |
|---|
| 2 1/4 c. all-purpose flour plus extra for work surface |
| 4 tsp. baking powder |
| 1/2 tsp. baking soda |
| 1/2 tsp. salt |
| 1 Tbsp. sugar |
| 1/4 c. vegetable shortening |
| 2 Tbsp. cold butter, cut into pieces |
| 3/4 c. buttermilk |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 450°F.
2. In a medium bowl, sift together 2-1/4 cups flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Cut in shortening and butter using a fork or pastry cutter, until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in buttermilk, mixing just until dry ingredients are moistened.
3. Place dough on a lightly floured work surface. Knead dough just until dough comes together and roll out to 3/4-inch thickness with a rolling pin.
4. Cut out biscuits with a 2-1/2-inch cutter or glass. Place biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet. Knead remaining dough back into a ball to make more biscuits.
5. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, or just until biscuits begin to turn golden. Remove from baking sheet and serve warm.
