Buttermilk Biscuits

We tried another biscuit recipe and found that we like it better than the one I originally posted.

2 c flour (1 1/3 c whole wheat and 2/3 c white)

1 T baking powder

3/4 t salt

1/2 t baking soda

5 T shortening

1 c buttermilk (I use fat free plain yogurt and it turns out awesome!)

Combine dry ingredients. Cut the shortening into the flour mixture until coarse crumbs form. Add the buttermilk (or yogurt), tossing with a fork until a dough forms. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead lightly a few times just until smooth. Pat dough to a 3/4" thickness. Cut out biscuits. Bake 425 degrees for 12 minutes or until golden.
