Directions:
Mix all dry ingredients together in a mixing bowl. Blend in the 2 Tablespoons Crisco until mixture is coarse and grainy, using a pastry blender. Then, using a fork, stir in buttermilk. Do not over mix. Put on a floured board and knead just a few times. Pat out the dough to about 1/2-inch thickness. Cut with a floured biscuit cutter or a glass. Do not handle the dough too much or it will get tough. Place 1 Tablespoon of Crisco in a heavy black iron frying pan and put the pan in the oven at 500 degrees for about 7 minutes. Remove the pan and place the biscuits in it, turning each once in the oil. Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown.
