Description
A recipe out of the 1941 Better Homes and Gardens cookbook, with a few changes by me. It is no longer in print in the Better Homes cookbook, and never appeared just like this…
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose Flour
- 4 teaspoons Baking Powder
- ½ teaspoons Baking Soda
- ½ teaspoons Salt
- 8 Tablespoons Butter Or Shortening, Divided
- 1 cup Buttermilk
Preparation
Preheat oven to 450F
Sift flour and add other dry ingredients.
Cut in 5 tablespoons shortening (butter) until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add buttermilk, all at once, and stir until the dough follows the fork around the bowl. Turn out and knead for 1/2 minute.
Roll until 3/8 inches thick; brush with remaining 3 tablespoons shortening (butter).
Fold over and cut double biscuits with biscuit cutter. Bake on ungreased cookie (Better Homes 1941-51 spells it “cooky”) sheet in hot oven (450 degrees) 12 to 15 minutes.
Makes 2 dozen small biscuits. (If you want 2 dozen, use the 2 inch cutter.)
