Buttermilk Biscuits

I have been searching for a good biscuit recipe. I finally found it!!

It's from Taste of Home! Here's the recipe:

Mom's Buttermilk Biscuits

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 cup butter

3/4 cup buttermilk

In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt;

cut in the butter until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Stir in buttermilk. Add a little bit more if dough is too dry.

Knead dough gently.

Gently press dough out to about 1/2 inch thick or thicker if you like thicker biscuits.

Cut with 2 1/2 inch biscuit cutter and place on a lightly greased baking sheet.

Bake at 450 degrees for 10 - 15 minutes or until golden brown.

Yield 9 - 10 biscuits

Tip: The secret I have found to making a good biscuit is to handle the dough as little as possible. That's why I press to the thickness I want rather than rolling!

This recipe makes a delicious biscuit!

Give it a try and let me know what you think!
