Baking Soda Biscuits

This is the recipe for my baking soda biscuits I make every week. They are super easy and yummy, especially with gravy. These are drop biscuits, but you can roll them out at about 1" thickness and cut out circles using a common water glass from your kitchen.

Baking Soda Biscuits

preheat oven to 450 degrees

Ingredients:

2 cups of flour

2 1/2 tsp. of baking soda

1 tsp. of salt

1/4 cup of shorting

3/4 cup of milk

Mix the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Cut in the shortening until the mixture looks like pea sized granules. Mix in milk with a fork until the dough is sticking together well and all of the flour is mixed in. Knead it about 10 times. 

On a foil covered cookie sheet, tear the dough into 10 equal sized mounds 

Bake for about 12 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
