Lite Biscuits
2 cups White Lily Self-Rising Flour
1./2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 cup shortening
3/4 cup buttermilk or more as needed
Preheat oven to 500 degrees.
Measure flour into bowl by spooning into cup and leveling off.
Cut in shortening until like coarse crumbs. Blend in just enough
milk with fork until dough leaves sides of bowl. Too much makes
dough too sticky to handle and too little makes biscuits dry.
Knead gently on lightly floured surface a few times.
Roll dough about 1/2" thick. Cut without twisting cutter.
Bake on ungreased baking sheet.
NOTES : Always handle dough gently and use as little extra flour
for kneading and rolling as possible for tender biscuits.
