Grandma's Buttermilk Biscuits

NEED:
3 cups all purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 cups buttermilk ( set out to warm to room temperature)
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup Crisco shortening
Mix together flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Cut in Crisco (place Crisco in mixture and using two table knives, cut through it to make small pieces.) then work it into the dry ingredients. You can use a large spatula or spoon, but I preferr using my hands. Do not over work. Add buttermilk and mix..once again...DO NOT OVER WORK.
Turn mixture out onto a floured surface. Flour palms of hands and fold ( knead) mixture no more than 3 times and then pat out to desired thickness and cut with floured biscuit cutter or floured drinking glass.
Oven at 450 degrees. Bake approximately 15 to 18 minutes or until a nice brown. Do not over bake.

Enjoy!
