Southern Buttermilk Biscuits


My husband likes it when I make him breakfast so I thought I would make him some homemade biscuits.
2 cups of all-purpose flour
2-tsp baking powder
1/4 -tsp baking soda
1-tsp. salt
1/3 cup of butter or shortening
3/4 cup buttermilk
  • Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl. Cut in butter with pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles rice kernels.
  • Stir in milk with fork just until mixture clings to itself.
  • Form dough into a ball and knead gently 8 to 10 times on lightly floured board. Gently roll dough 1/2 inch thick.
  • Cut with floured biscuit cutter or knife, using an even pressure to keep sides of bisuits straight.
  • Place on ungreased baking sheet, close together for soft sided biscuits or 1 inch apart for crusty ones.
  • Bake at 450 degrees 10 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
