Biscuits, The Cheater Way

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
2. 2
   Add all dry ingredients to the work bowl of a food processor with the dough blade attached. Pulse three times to mix together.
3. 3
   Place butter and shortening in the work bowl and mix until it resembled coarse sand. Add buttermilk and mix until dough comes together.
4. 4
   Dump dough onto a floured surface and fold dough over onto itself, kneading it until it gets soft. Do not knead for over a minute or the heat of your hands will cause the dough to become too soft.
5. 5
   Roll dough out to 1/2 to 1 inch thick and press into 3-inch rounds. Place rounds onto a sheet pan and bake until biscuits are a light gold on top, 15 to 20 minutes.
6. 6
   Eat and enjoy!
