How to make buttermilk biscuits:

Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together in a bowl. Cut in shortening with a pastry blender until the mixture looks like coarse meal. Add milk and stir until a dough forms. Turn out onto a lightly floured board or pastry cloth and knead about 20 kneading turns. Pat dough out with hands to a thickness of 1/2 to 3/4-inch and cut with a 2 1/2 to 3-inch cutter. Place on an ungreased baking sheet with sides touching and bake in a 450° oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.

For cheese biscuits, add 1 cup of grated cheese with the flour mixture. The baking sheet may have to be very lightly greased to prevent the cheese from sticking.
