                         BUTTERMILK BISCUITS

Ingredients
1 cup plus 2 Tablespoons Flour
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
1/4 teaspoon Baking Soda
2 Tablespoons Crisco
1/2 cup Buttermilk
1 Tablespoon Crisco for frying pan

Directions
    Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl.  Cut in the Crisco until
the mixture is coarse and grainy.  Useing a fork, stir in the
buttermilk - DO NOT OVERMIX!  Put on a floured board and knead just a
couple of times (too much kneading and the bisc uits will be rock
hard).  Pat out to about 1/2 inch thick.  Cut with a glass (flour the
glass).  Do not handle the dough too much or it will get tough.
    Use a cast iron frying pan.  Place the Crisco in the frying pan
and place the pan in a 500§ oven for about 7 minutes.  Remove the pan
and place the biscuts in the pan.  Turn the biscuts once to coat both
sides (careful - the pan is HOT).  Bake for about 10 minutes or until
light brown.
