Buttermilk Biscuits!

These biscuits are a snap to make and are great for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

3 cups MJ's Baking Mix or Bread Mix*
3 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1/3 cup butter or shortening
1 1/2 cup buttermilk*

Pre-heat the oven to 475
Mix all the dry ingredients together and then cut in the butter or shortening until the mixture has a grainy texture.  Add the butter milk and combine thoroughly.  There may be some flour not quite combined but do not add more liquid, just mix it in with your hands.  Take the dough and roll in small balls and place in a an oven proof skillet or cookie sheet (I like to use my cast iron skillet for these).
Bake for 15 - 20 minutes, depending on size, until they are golden on top.  Take out and enjoy!

*When looking for a flour mix for breads make sure the first ingredient is a starch or tapioca flour combined with either a bean flour or brown rice flour.  You can find our products at mjspantry.com.

If you are substituting buttermilk for soy or rice milk; add the liquid slowly until a workable dough is attained.
