How to Make Great Biscuits

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
  3. Cut in shortening using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Stir in buttermilk until just combined; do not overmix.
  5. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat or roll the dough to about 1/2 inch thickness.
  6. Use a biscuit cutter or knife to cut out biscuits. (Alternatively, use a 2-3 inch round cookie cutter)
  7. Place biscuits in a greased baking sheet or cast iron skillet.
  8. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  9. Let cool slightly before serving.
