Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 450°F.

Stir baking soda into buttermilk and set aside. Sift flour into medium bowl; cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in buttermilk mixture until just combined. Knead dough 3-4 times; roll to 1/2-inch thickness on lightly floured board. Cut into 2-inch rounds; place on ungreased baking sheet. Bake 12 to 14 minutes.

*If you do use White Lily, either weigh 280 grams of flour OR add an extra 4 tablespoons of flour.
