3 c. sifted flour
3 tsp. baking powder
1/2 c. sugar
1 tsp. salt

1 c. buttermilk

Sift dry ingredients. Cut in shortening. Add buttermilk and mix. Roll 1/2 inch thick - cut into circles (2 1/2 inches). They can be baked at 450 degrees for 15 minutes or fried like pancakes on a well greased hot griddle, turned once. Serve split and with butter and jam.
