Ingredients:  
Ingredients:

1-1/2 tsp cream of tartar
1-1/2 tsp baking soda
1-1/2 tsp salt
1/4 lb. shortening
2 cups buttermilk

Directions:
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400º.

Sift the dry ingredients together in a lark mixing bowl. Cut the shortening into the flour mixture with your fingers, two knives, or a pastry cutter. The lumps will be very small, but visible. As soon as you feel the texture of the flour become coarse, stop.

Pour the buttermilk into the dry mixture all at once and combine. Incorporate the buttermilk as quickly and as gently as possible using a folding motion. Adjust the consistency if needed. the dough should be sticky, but manageable.

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and work lightly (with the hands, use a folding and patting out motion) until texture begins to smooth out. Pat the dough out with your hands into a large rectangle (about the size of a baking sheet.)
Spread 2/3 of dough with soft butter. fold unbuttered side onto the middle 1/3 of the buttered side, then fold the other outer third onto the top of the unbuttered dough. Turn dough 1/4 turn and repeat, buttering 2/3 dough and folding. Repeat once more.

Pat out dough to 1/2-inch thickness. May finish rolling out with rolling pin (lightly). Cut out with biscuit cutter, dipping with flour in between to keep from sticking.

Bake on parchment lined baking sheet at 400º for approximately 14 minutes. turn once halfway through the baking at 7 minutes. tops should be a light golden brown when finished. Brush tops with butter.
