Buttermilk Biscuits

Preheat oven to 450ºF.

In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Cut in the butter with a pastry blender or by hand until mixture resembles large bread crumbs. Add buttermilk and gently mix until all ingredients come together.

Form dough into a ball (it should be a little sticky at this point) and place on a lightly floured surface. Flour your hands and begin to knead the dough gently, folding the dough over and over. Add more flour as needed to keep it from sticking. You can also do this in the bowl if you want.

With a lightly floured surface underneath begin to pat out the dough until it is about and ½ to ¾ inches thick. Cut out biscuits with a 2” biscuit cutter or a glass. Re-roll scraps and cut out the rest.

Place biscuits on a baking sheet about an inch apart and bake for 12 minutes.
