Gold Medal Buttermilk Biscuits

This is a recipe off the Gold Medal Self Rising Flour bag. I made them this morning for my Dad. I put apples, cinnamon, sugar and a dot of butter in the scraps after I rolled them thin, making a rectangle, then folding it over, and crimping it closed with a fork. The dumplings were baked at 400 Deg. for 15 min.

Here is the recipe:

2 1/2 c. Gold Medal Self-Rising Flour

2 tsp. sugar

1/2 tsp. baking soda

1/2 cup shortening

1 c. buttermilk

1. Heat oven to 450 deg. F.

2. In a bowl, lightly whisk together flour, sugar and baking soda.

3. Cut in shortening.

4. Knead 5-6 times until it just comes together.

5. On a lightly floured surface, roll or pat to 1/2 inch thick.

6. Cut with biscuit cutter

7. Place on ungreased sheet.

8. Bake 10-12 min. until golden brown.

Serve with butter and honey or sausage gravy.
