Buttermilk Bicuits

Note: This is just memories of home in my mouth! When baking always make sure your baking soda is fresh or your biscuits (or whatever you are baking) won't be as fluffy and flaky as you want them to be.


BUTTERMILK BISCUITS

2 cups all purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt

Preheat oven to 450°. Mix flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Add shortening, buttermilk and stir just until dough holds together. A more buttermilk if needed.
