Buttermilk Biscuits (Barb E's)

These have been my favorite biscuits since I first ate them in Hardin, MT. 

Preheat oven to 450*.


Mix together: 
3 C flour
2 Tbs sugar (or rapadura)
4 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp salt


Cut in:
1/4-1/2 C shortening (butter)


Add:
1 C buttermilk
Stir quickly  until mixture forms a soft dough and leaves sides of bowl. 

On light floured surface, knead dough 10 times (don't over knead your biscuits or scones).  Pat dough into a 7 - 8 inch square. Cut into 9 squares.  Bake 12 - 15 minutes or until golden.

Choosing Joy!
