Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C).
  2. 2 Place flour into a large bowl. Cut in shortening with a pastry blender or two knives until crumbs are pea-sized. Stir in buttermilk with a fork just until moistened.
  3. 3 Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently 5 to 6 times, just until a smooth dough is formed. Roll dough into a 7-inch circle with a thickness of 3/4 to 1 inch. Dip a 2-inch biscuit cutter in flour and cut out as many biscuits as you can. Gather dough scraps and roll together into a ball; pat out to the same thickness as before and cut out addtional biscuits.
  4. 4 Transfer biscuits to a baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart. (For softer biscuits, arrange so the edges almost touch.)
  5. 5 Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and brush butter over top.

  1. 1 Preheat an oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch cake pan.
  2. 2 Sift flour and salt together into a large mixing bowl. Make a dent in flour by pushing flour from center toward sides of bowl.

Work the shortening into the flour using fingers in a twisting motion (rub thumb against pointer and middle finger motion) until the shortening is fully incorporated into the flour.
  3. 3 Pour buttermilk into the flour about 1/4 cup at a time, continuing to work it in with your fingers until the buttermilk is completely incorporated into a sticky dough.
  4. 4 Roll dough into 8 large balls and drop into prepared cake pan, working around the outside and putting the last one in middle to fill the pan. Press dough balls with back of fingers to flatten until they touch and are about 3/4- to 1-inch thick.
