Mama Chris' Buttermilk Biscuits
Ingredients:
2 ½ cups  | Self-rising flour  | 
½ tsp  | Baking soda  | 
½ cup  | Shortening (Crisco)  | 
¾ - 1 cup  | Buttermilk  | 
Directions:
- Heat oven to 450˚F
 - In medium bowl, stir flour and baking soda together
 - Cut in shortening with pastry blender until mixture looks like fine crumbs
 - Stir in buttermilk until dough rounds up into a ball (leave some flour on sides of bowl – add more buttermilk as needed)
 - Break off pieces and roll into balls.  If making cheese biscuits, flatten, add cheese, pinch together and roll again.
 - Place on ungreased or floured cookie sheet and  bake 10-12 minutes (until brown on top)
 
Tip:  You can also make these with regular milk for regular biscuits, but don't put in baking soda.
