2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon white sugar
1/3 cup half shortning/half butter
3/4 to 1 cup low fat buttermilk
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Cut in the shortening/butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Gradually stir in milk until dough pulls away from the side of the bowl. Dough will be fairly wet.
Turn out onto a floured surface, and knead a few times (up to 15- 20) until it is not sticky. Pat or roll dough out to 1" thick. Cut biscuits with a large cutter or juice glass dipped in flour. Repeat until all dough is used. Place on ungreased baking sheet.
Bake 13 to 15 minutes or until edges begin to brown.
Serves: 10 biscuits
