Flaky Buttermilk Biscuits



4 cups all-purpose flour
5 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup shortening chilled
1-1/2 cups buttermilk



Adjust rack to center of oven and preheat to 425 degrees.
Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a large bowl. slice the chilled shortening into pieces and add to the dry ingredients. Use a fork to cut in the shortening, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbly meal. Add the buttermilk and stir with a fork until the dough just holds together (sometimes I need to add a little water to it, to make it hold) Turn the dough outonto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently for 1 minute, adding a little extra flour as necessary to incorporate all the ingredients and ensure that biscuits will rise evenly. Pat into a 1/2-inch-thick circle and let the dough rest, covered with a clean tea towel, for 10 to 12 minutes. Cut the biscuits with a 2-inch round cutter dipped in flour. Arrange them about 3/4-inch apart on an ungreased baking sheet and brush the top with a little buttermilk. Bake in the center of the oven until golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool the biscuits on wire racks and brush them with melted butter, if desired.
