Method 1. Start by preheating your oven to 230°C (450°F) 2. Put the flour in a mixing bowl and make a small well in it. 3. Add cold shortening (reserve a tiny bit to grease your baking pan) and cold buttermilk 4. Mix and squeeze between your fingers for couple of seconds to form a rough dough. Don't use your mixer for this dough. The biscuits would be overworked, crumbly and dense. 5. When the ingredients have just combined transfer the dough to a floured surface. 6. Fold in half for couple of times (2-3 folds) 7. Press down to about 1.5 to 2 cm (1/2 to 3/4 inch) with your palm. 8. Cut your biscuits with a cutter and place them into a greased baking pan so that they are just touching each other. 9. Reshape the scraps by simply pressing them together and cut additional biscuits. (We used a cutter with 7.5 cm (3 inch) diameter and got 6 biscuits out of this dough) 10. Bake in a preheated oven on 230°C (450°F) for about 15 minutes. Have a bite! Tips:
Self rising flour If you live somewhere where self rising flour is not an regular item in the baking aisle of a grocery store no need to worry! Self rising flour is a combination of regular (all-purpose) flour, baking powder, and salt. To make your own self rising flour use the following ratios: 150 g (1 cup) of all-purpose flour 20-25 g (1 and 1/2 tsp) baking powder 1/4 tsp salt Buttermilk Just like the self rising flour, buttermilk is not always and everywhere available item but it is also very easily replaceable. Buttermilk is the leftover liquid that is a side product of butter production, Buttermilk ferments into a thick, tangy cream. Sometimes it is sold under the name "sour milk". If you don't have buttermilk in your fridge you can simply take 1 cup of milk and 1 tbsp of white vinegar or lemon juice. Mix it well and leave for 5-10 minutes at room temperature. After that you can use the mixture instead of butter milk. Another option is to use the mix of 3/4 cup of yogurt 1/4 cup of water as your buttermilk supplement.

Jesi radio i s maslacem umjesto mašću, znači treba ih ful kratko mjesiti

Nisam probao s maslacem, jedino s masti i biljnom masti (Crisco). Ako ćeš probati s maslacem javi kako je uspjelo!
