"The original recipe was found on a now defunct recipe site,I have made and enjoyed it several times.But it made a lot of biscuits,and at times that's too much for just two people. And I decided to reduce it by half, then made a couple of changes of how it was prepared.Posted to " ZAZZ " on 10/21/13. " Keep Smiling :)"

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Step 2
Mix together all dry ingredients, and sift twice(double sifting is VERY IMPORTANT).
Step 3
Cut in shortening until flour looks like crumbly cornmeal or small peas.
Step 4
Add buttermilk and mix just until a ball is formed(you might have to add a bit more flour or buttermilk to get it just right).
Step 5
Knead for at least 3 minutes.
Step 6
On a floured counter top or board,pat dough (don't use a rolling pin) out to 1/2 inch thick.
Step 7
Cut four biscuits out with a floured biscuit cutter,or just pat out to a square and cut into four even pieces.
Step 8
Place on a lightly greased cookie sheet( I used greased parchment paper for easier clean up)and bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until lightly browned.
