Southern Biscuits

This recipe is yummy, super easy and quick to make.  From start to finish it takes about 30 mins tops! I also treat them as scones too and add butter/jam  :)  The original recipe can be found here.

2 cups flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 Tablespoons butter
2 Tablespoons of shortening (i didn't have any so just added more butter)
1 cup of buttermilk (add 1-2 tablespoons of vinegar or lemon juice to almost a cup of milk)

Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius/450 Fahrenheit.
Combine all dry ingredients into a bowl.  Cut up butter (and shortening) and rub it into the flour, (try do this as quick as you can so you don't melt the butter with your hands).
Make a well in the mixture and pour in milk, mix until its just combined. (the dough will be very sticky and wet)
Transfer mixture to a well floured board, add a handful of flour to the top and fold the dough 4 or 5 times, then pat it out to about an inch thick.
Cut it up using a knife or use a cutter to cut out your biscuits.
Put on a greased tray and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown :)

and ta da!!
