Ingredients
- 3 ½ cups Organic Unbleached All Purpose Flour
- 2 T Sugar
- 1 T Baking Powder
- ½ tsp Baking Soda
- 1 tsp Salt
- ½ cup Unsalted Butter, Cubed (1 Stick)
- 1 ½ cups Buttermilk or Sour Milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees
- Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar together in large bowl. Cut in the cold, cubed butter until you have pea sized butter chunks.
- Add just enough buttermilk to make the dough come together.
- Turn the dough out onto lightly floured surface and gently knead the dough 6-8 times, just enough to work everything into a dough that holds together. It's ok if there are small chunks of butter visible in the dough. Add more flour to your surface if needed, and pat the dough out until about 1 inch thick. Using a round cutter, or the top of a glass dipped in flour, cut into circles.
- Brush the tops of your biscuits with milk.
- Bake 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden.
- Cool on wire rack.
- Best eaten that same day. Store in air-tight container at room temperature for 1-2 days.
