This recipe was from Delores Matthews. She was my maternal grandmother. According to my father (who was her son-in-law ) she was the best biscuit maker ever.
1 tsp. salt
2 cups sifted flour
3 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. soda dissolved in 1 1/4 cups buttermilk. You may need a little more buttermilk if dough is too stiff.
4 Tbsp. melted shortening ( I am sure you can use oil. Wasn't available when she was young.)
Mix with milk and soda.
Sift dry ingredients and add to milk, soda, and shortening. Beat with spoon or mix by hand. Turn out on floured board. Keep dough very soft. Roll lightly or pat out and cut with a biscuit cutter and place in greased pan. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.
