Just a follow-up to your post:
"Anytime any of you all are in southwest Missouri, give me a holler and I can probably rustle up some grub for you. Here's my biscuit recipe in case you want to try it.
4 cups flour
2 Tbsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
2 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1 cup shortening or lard (I like butter flavored Crisco)
2 cups buttermilk
Mix all the dry ingredients together. Cut in the shortening until the mixture is crumbly. Slowly stir in the buttermilk. Turn dough out on a floured surface and roll it to a 1/2" thickness. Cut out biscuits and place on a cookie sheet. Bake at 400 deg F for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Makes about 12 biscuits.

I made biscuits according to your recipe today and they were quite good but mine didn't look as good as yours. I've never attempted to make biscuits in my life and my wife says they were better than hers so she's going to use your recipe too if you don't mind.
Thanks. :hatsoff:
