This is a great recipe, different than the usual biscuit. Serve piping hot with butter, jam, or honey.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 dash salt
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 0.5 cups butter
- 0.75 cups buttermilk
Instructions
-

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

2
In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Cut in 1/2 cup butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Mix in the buttermilk. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead 2 minutes. Transfer to an ungreased baking sheet, roll into a 6x6 inch square, and cut into 12 even sections. Do not separate.

Bake 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until a knife inserted in the center of the square comes out clean. Separate into biscuits, and serve hot.
