Skillet Buttermilk Biscuits

Pour 1" of oil into a medium size skillet. Heat to 370 degrees. Combine the
flours, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Cut in the vegetable
shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the buttermilk.
Mix lightly with a fork until the mixture clings together and forms a soft
ball of dough. Break off pieces of the mixture, 1 per finished roll. Roll
each piece into a 1" ball. Flatten the balls. Fry the biscuits until golden
on each side (3-4 minutes total). Drain on paper towels. Serve warm.
