Quick Buttermilk Biscuits


My sister taught me how to make thise when I was about 14 yrs old.. Great Biscuits :)

2 cups self-rising flour
1/3 cup shortening
3/4 cup and 1 Tbsp. buttermilk

Combine flour and shortening in mixing bowl. Cut in shortening until it looks
like coarse meal. Stir in buttermilk. Turn out on a floured board. Knead lightly
3-4 times. Roll 1/2 inch thick and cut with 2 1/2 inch cutter or use your hands and pinch them off between you pointer finger and thumb.. Be sure to put flour on your hands to keep them from sticking to your fingers. Place on well buttered baking sheet.Place a biscuit on sheet then turn it over, this butters the tops and they brown better.
 
 Bake at 450°F for 10-12 minutes.
 
Butter soon as they come out of the oven..yummm.
 
Yields about 10 biscuits.
