2 Cups light baking flour
1 Tbsp baking powder
1 Tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 Cup Crisco

Mix all the biscuit ingredients together until crumbly. Make a well in the center.

1/8 tsp baking soda
3/4 Cups buttermilk
Dissolve baking soda in buttermilk and pour into the well. Mix all completely into a dough and knead until smooth and elastic. Pat biscuit dough out to 1 inch thick, and cut into 3 inch rounds. Place on a lightly greased baking sheet with edges touching. Brush with melted butter. Bake at 450 degrees F for 15-18 minutes or until golden. Brush with melted butter again after brining them out of the oven.
