Buttermilk Biscuits

3 cups flour
4 t. baking powder
1 t. baking soda
1/4 t. salt
1 T. sugar
3/4 cup cold butter
1 1/3 cup cold buttermilk

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Mix flour & other dry ingredients together. Cut in butter until the mixture forms coarse pieces.
Add the buttermilk and stir until just moistened. (Don't over mix it!)
Roll and cut with biscuit cutter. ( I usually only get 8-10 very large biscuits, the thicker, the
better)
Place on a greased baking sheet with edges touching!(Very important)
Bake for about 15 min. or until tops are just golden brown. When you take them out of oven,
remove from pan immeadiately.

I love biscuits, but couldn't make great ones, until I found this recipe! Be sure to use cold
butter and buttermilk, it makes all the difference!
