Buttermilk Biscuits

Source: Divas Can Cook

Ingredients:

2 cups flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 tablespoon sugar

1/4 cup shortening, cold

3 tablespoons butter, cold

1 cup buttermilk

1 tablespoon mayonnaise

Directions:

In a large bowl, sift together the dry ingredients. Cut in the shortening with a pastry cutter. Grate the butter into the bowl, tossing lightly to coat. Stir in the buttermilk until a sticky dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface. Lightly sprinkle the dough with flour and dust hands with flour. Knead the dough, folding several times to create layers. Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Use a knife to cut the dough into 8 pieces. Add flour onto the knife to keep from sticking. Place the biscuits on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. The edges should be barely touching. Lightly brush the top of each biscuit with mayonnaise. Bake at 425 for 14 minutes or until biscuits are done. The broiler can be turned on at the end of the baking time, if desired, to brown the biscuits. Remove from oven and brush with melted butter.
