2 cups self-rising flour1/8 teaspoon baking soda3/4 teaspoon salt1 1/2 tablespoons white sugar2 tablespoons shortening2 tablespoons butter, softened1 1/4 cups buttermilk1 cup all-purpose flour1 1/2 tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C).Spray a 10 1/2 inch cast iron skillet with non stick cooking spray.In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt and sugar.Cut in the shortening and softened butter with a fork until the lumps are pea size.Gently stir in the buttermilk until all of the flour is incorporated; do not over mix.The dough should be very wet. If not, add more buttermilk to achieve a sloppy consistency.Let stand for 2 to 3 minutes.Place all-purpose flour in a bowl. Spray an ice cream scoop or large spoon with vegetable spray and scoop out dough.Drop each biscuit one at a time into the flour.Using well-floured hands, pick up each piece and pass from hand to hand lightly to shake off excess flour and shape it into a soft round.Place the biscuits gently into cast iron skillet.They will be a tight fit.Do not mash the biscuits down! Brush tops lightly with melted butter.Bake at 475 degrees F (245 degrees C) for 16 to 18 minutes.Cool before serving.
