Buttermilk Biscuits
4 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 cup butter, cold and cut into cubes
2 cups buttermilk
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs using a pastry blender or two knives (I used a food processor). Add the buttermilk and stir with a wooden spoon until the dough just comes together. Turn out onto a floured surface and pat into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Cut dough into 12 squares (I like this shape because it eliminates all scraps). Place on baking sheets and bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown. Eat warm with butter and jam or let cool slightly and make breakfast sandwiches (or do both like I did).
