Biscuits

Oh, biscuits... how you have given me so much grief over the years! It's been a long time coming.. but I finally have made a biscuit recipe that is worth the effort! Hallelujah!

A couple of notes on this recipe:
After the addition of the buttermilk, the dough will seem a little wet. It's very important to not overwork the dough and don't add more flour to the mix. Just make sure you put the dough onto a well floured surface to shape it. Also, if you don't own biscuit cutters, I've found a white wine glass works well the cut the biscuits ;)

Oven: 450

3 cups all purpose flour
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
6 tablespoons cold butter, cubed
1 1/2 cups buttermilk

Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar. Cut butter into dry ingredients using a pastry cutter (or a fork if you don't own one) When the butter is the size of peas, mix in buttermilk until just combined.
Turn dough onto a well floured surface and pat until 1 1/2 inches thick. Cut into circles and place in a non-stick sprayed pan.

Bake for 18-20 minutes.
