Directions

1 Heat oven to 400°F. In medium bowl, mix flour, baking powder, herbs, salt and baking soda. Cut in shortening, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions), until mixture looks like fine crumbs. Stir in buttermilk until dough leaves side of bowl (dough will be soft and sticky).
2 On lightly floured surface, lightly knead dough 10 times. Roll or pat dough about 1 inch thick. Cut with floured 2-inch cutter. On ungreased cookie sheet, place biscuits about 1 inch apart. Brush with butter.
3 Bake 14 to 16 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheet. Serve warm.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

To cut the dough, push the biscuit cutter (dipped in flour) straight into the dough. Cut biscuits as close together as possible, and try not to twist as you cut so biscuits will be the same size.

Lightly press—but don’t knead—leftover scraps of dough together to cut out a few more biscuits (they may be slightly uneven, but they'll taste just as good).

My biscuits didn't come out anything like the biscuits shown in the picture. I made them exactly like the directions said to. My biscuits came out more like a drop biscuit. They also weren't the easiest to make. Putting all of the ingredients together was a cinch. However, trying to knead the dough was a challenge. The dough was extremely sticky, and even if I put flour on my hands it didn't seem to matter. All the dough wanted to do was stick to my hands. It also wanted to stick to my counter unfortunately, even though I put flour on that too. So I had to peel them up off of the counter in order to get them onto the pan. To top it all off, they turned out very dry. I probably won't make these again.
