Ingredients:
Directions:
In a large bowl, sift all dry ingredients (including sugar if using) together. Cut butter or shortening into the flour with finger tips until the consistency is like tiny peas.
Blend buttermilk a little at a time until all flour is moist and the dough can be gathered in the center of the bowl.
Turn onto a floured surface and kneed lightly until the dough is easy to work with and not sticky. Roll out and cut biscuits to your favorite size - 3/4-inch thick.
Bake at 450 degrees until golden brown - about 12 to 14 minutes. Brush with melted butter and serve hot.
