2-1/2 c All purpose flour

1 T Baking powder

1/2 t Salt

1 T Coarse cracked black pepper

1/2 t Baking soda

3/4 c Shortening

1 c Buttermilk

Preheat oven to 450-500F. Sift 2 cups of the flour with the baking powder, salt, pepper, and

baking soda into a bowl. Cut in the shortening with a pastry blender or fork, or work it in

with your fingers. Add the buttermilk to make a soft dough, mixing just until the dough holds

together. Flour your hands. Pull of a piece of dough the size of a biscuit and dip the wet

edge into the extra flour. The roll or pat into a biscuit. Place slightly touching, on a lightly

greased baking sheet. Bake until golden golden brown. 8-10 minutes. From Nathalie
