How to make masa biscuits

• Position racks in the upper and middle thirds of the oven and preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
• Cut butter and shortening into small pieces. In a large bowl, stir together 3 1/2 cups of the flour and all the masa, baking powder and salt.
• With a pastry blender, blend in the butter and shortening until the mixture resembles a coarse and slightly lumpy meal.
• Stir in buttermilk until a soft, crumbly dough is formed. Sprinkle work surface with half the remaining flour.
• Turn the dough out, gather it into a ball and briefly knead it, just until it holds together.
• Flatten the dough, sprinkle it with the remaining flour and roll it out until it is about 1 inch thick.
• Form the biscuits with a 3 inch round cutter and transfer them to two ungreased baking sheets, spacing the biscuits about 2 inches apart.
• Gather the scraps into a ball, roll it out to a 1 inch thickness and cut out remaining biscuits.
• Set baking sheets on the racks and bake for about 15 minutes or until they are golden and crisp.
• At the halfway point, exchange the position of the sheets on the racks from top to bottom and from front to back.
• Serve the biscuits hot or warm.
