Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

2 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons dried herb leaves, such as rosemary, basil or thyme, or Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/3 cup shortening
1 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon butter or margarine, melted

Steps:

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).
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.
Bake 14 to 16 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheet. Serve warm.
