Cracked Pepper Biscuits

 

2 1/2 cups All purpose flour

1 tb Baking powder

1/2 ts Salt

1 tb freshly cracked black pepper

1/2 ts Baking soda

3/4 cups Vegetable Shortening (I use Spectrum)

1 cup Buttermilk

 

Preheat oven to 450. Stir 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. Or you can roll out dough a little and cut biscuit

out with a glass turned upside down. Place slightly touching, on a lightly

greased baking sheet. Bake until golden golden brown.

8-10 minutes.
