2 c. self-rising flour
1/3 c. shortening
2/3 c. buttermilk

Preheat oven to 450°F. Grease a 7 inch skillet or you can use a 9-inch cake pan. Combine all the ingredients in the bowl of a food processor, fitted with the steel blade. Process for 15 to 20 seconds. The dough will be sticky but do not add more flour. Spoon the dough onto a floured surface. Lightly dust the top of the dough with flour. Gently knead about 10 times. Pat or roll out to a thickness of 1/2 inch. Cut with a 2 inch biscuit cutter. Place in the skillet or cake pan.

Bake for about 8 minutes or until lightly browned.

Yield: 8 biscuits.
