Better Buttermilk Biscuits

Recipe Ingredients

2 cups	125g / 4.4oz	All-purpose flour
1 tablespoon	15ml	Sugar
1 teaspoon	5ml	Salt
2 teaspoons	10ml	Baking powder
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Baking soda
1/2 cup	99g / 3.5oz	Vegetable shortening - chilled, and
		Cut into 1/2" pieces
3/4 cup	177ml	Buttermilk

Recipe Instructions

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.

This recipe yields 6 to 8 biscuits.
