2 cups flour
 1 teaspoon salt
 1 tablespoon of baking powder
 1/4 cup solid shortening or butter
 buttermilk 
 Sift flour, salt and baking powder.  Cut in butter.  Mix in the
 buttermilk until the consistency is right. (less than a 1/4 cup
 usually)  The dough should hold its form, but not be sticky.  If
 sticky, add more flour.  Roll out and cut with a biscuit cutter.
 Place on an ungreased baking sheet.  The buscuits should touch if
 you want tall fluffy ones or space evenly for flat biscuits.  Bake
 at 375 for about 10-20 min.
