    Title: Harriet's Southern Biscuits
    Categories: Breads, Breakfast
    Yield: 8 Servings

    1 c + 2 tb Flour
    1 ts Baking powder
    1/2 ts Salt
    1/4 ts Baking soda
    2 tb Shortening or lard
    1/2 c Buttermilk
    1 tb Shortening or lard; for
    - frying pan

    Mix the dry ingredients together in a mixing bowl.
    Blend in the shortening until the mixture is coarse
    and grainy. Harriet uses a fork, but I have better
    luck with a pastry blender. Then, using a fork, stir
    in the buttermilk. Do not overmix.

    Put on a floured board and knead just a few times. Pat
    out the dough to about 1/2" thick. Cut with a biscuit
    cutter or a glass. (Flour the cutter.) Do not handle
    the dough too much, or it will get tough.

    Use a heavy black frying pan. Place the 1 tablespoon
    of shortening in the frying pan and put the frying pan
    in the oven for about 7 minutes. Remove the pan from
    the oven and place the biscuits in the pan. Turn each
    once in the oil and bake the biscuits at 500ºF/260ºC
    for 10 minutes, or until light brown.
