Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 Tbl. sugar

2 tsp. baking powder

2 tsp. finely shredded lemon peel

1/4 tsp. baking soda

1/4 tsp. salt

1/2 cup shortening

1/3 cup buttermilk

1/3 cup mayonnaise or salad dressing

Lemon Glaze - optional

1 cup sifted powdered sugar

1/2 tsp. finely shredded lemon peel

1/4 tsp. vanilla

1 Tbl. milk

Directions

In a medium bowl stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, lemon peel, baking soda and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. (I use a food processor).

Make a well in the center of dry mixture. In a small mixing bowl combine the buttermilk and mayonnaise; add to dry mixture all at once. Using a fork, stir just until moistened.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Quckly knead dough by folding and pressing gently for 10 to 12 strokes or until the dough is nearly smooth. Pat or lightly roll dough to 1/2 inch thickness. Cut dough with a floured 2 1/2 inch biscuit cutter, dipping the cutter into flour between cuts.

Place buscuits 1 inch apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake in a 450 dregree oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden. Remove the biscuits from the baking sheet and cool slightly. If desired, drizzle Lemon Glaze over the biscuits just before serving. Serve warm.

Lemon Glaze-

Stir together the powdered sugar, lemon peel, vanilla and milk. Stir in additional milk, 1 tsp. at a time, until glaze is smooth and of drizzling consistency.

The addition of the mayo is different. Seems like you have to have a big glass of iced tea and stick your pinky out while you eat them! Yummy!! Jett
