Easy Buttermilk Biscuits

Sift together into a bowl, flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

Add solid vegetable shortening.

With a fork, blend mixture until it resembles coarse meal; then stir in buttermilk. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface; knead lightly for 4 or 5 strokes.

Roll or pat into a 1/2 to 3/4-inch thick round.

Cut with a 2-inch biscuit cutter (or glass).

Place on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated 450° oven for 10 to 15 minutes.
