Buttermilk Biscuits

Sorry for not posting yesterday!! It's Angel Zakuro here, and I'm subbing for Kaisa while she's at camp this week. ^_^ So anyhoo, onto the recipes! Here's one from Rethguals for yummy buttermilk biscuits. Gotta love 'em. Thanks, Reth-chan! ♥♥♥♥♥♥ Ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon sugar 1 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 cup vegetable shortening, chilled, cut into 1/2-inch pieces 3/4 cup buttermilk In a mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients together with a fork. Cut in the shortening using a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Make a well in the center and add buttermilk. Quickly fold dry ingredients into buttermilk with your hands until a sticky dough forms. Turn dough out onto floured surface. Gently fold the dough over itself 3 or 4 times to create layers. Roll dough out to 3/4-inch thick. Cut with a 3-inch biscuit cutter. Transfer dough rounds to a sheet pan. Gather scraps and repeat. Make a dimple in the center to help the top rise evenly. Brush with butter. Bake for 15 minutes in a preheated 400 degree oven until golden brown. Once they're done, feel free to spread butter, jellies, honey, or even cinammon and sugar on them! ^^ Whatever you like! Good for breakfast or anytime. Have a wonderful day, fellow food-lovers!
