ingredients

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
¹⁄₂ teaspoon salt
²⁄₃ cup shortening
1 cup buttermilk

directions

Combine flour, baking powder, sugar, baking soda and salt in large bowl. Cut in shortening with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles fine crumbs.
Make a well in the center of dry mixture; add the buttermilk all at once. Stir buttermilk into flour mixture until mixture forms soft dough that leaves side of bowl.
Preheat oven to 450°F.
Turn out dough onto well-floured surface. Knead dough 10 times; roll into 8-inch square. Cut dough into sixteen 2-inch squares. Place the dough squares 1 1⁄2 inches apart on large ungreased baking sheets.
Bake until biscuits are light golden, about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove biscuits from baking sheets and serve warm.
