Main Ingredients for this recipe:
Flour - All-purpose flour works well for this recipe. You do not need to use bread flour.
Shortening - Shortening works best in these - I use these to bake. Butter can be substituted if you do not have shortening..
Buttermilk -Real buttermilk is truly best, but if you don’t have buttermilk on hand, you can substitute a mixture of ½ cup of milk with 2 teaspoons of lemon juice. Let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes. The lemon juice will curdle the milk a bit.
Variations on this recipe - You can use a cast iron pan to make these too!
