Ingredients:
  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 teaspoons of baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 7 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup of buttermilk
Directions:

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.   Mix all the dry ingredients together.   Cut the butter into pieces, and work into the flour mixture with  a pastry cutter until it resembles pea-sized crumbs.   Add the liquid and mix/knead in bowl until dough forms, kneading as little as possible.   Turn out dough out on a floured surface and pat out to 3/4” thick.   Using a round cutter or glass cut out your biscuits out, don’t twist the dough. Place on a greased baking sheet close together but not touching and bake for 15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
