2-1/4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
6 Tbsp shortening
3/4 cup buttermilk
1/2 tsp soda
A pastry blender is the essential tool for good biscuit making. Put the dry ingredients into a large bowl and mix. Add the shortening and cut it in with the pastry blender until the flour has the appearance of small pebbles.
Pour the buttermilk into a measuring cup, add the soda water, and stir. Use a fork to stir the flour as you slowly add the buttermilk, until the dough just sticks together. Turn the dough onto a floured board or counter. Knead about a dozen times until the dough is uniform. Add flour to the board as necessary.
Pat the dough until it is about 1/2 inch thick. Cut the biscuits and place on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 450F for 12-15 minutes. This will make about 15 2" biscuits.
