Southern Biscuits















  • Flour     - 2 c
  • Baking pwdr     - 4 tsp
  • Baking soda     - 1/4 tsp
  • Salt     - 3/4 tsp 
  • Butter     -  4 Tbsp
  • Buttermilk (chilled)     - 1 c
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  2. Using your fingertips, rub butter into dry ingredients until mixture looks like crumbs.
  3. Make a well in the center and pour in the chilled buttermilk. Stir just until the dough comes together. The dough will be very sticky.
  4. Turn dough onto floured surface, dust top with flour and gently fold dough over on itself 5 or 6 times.
  5. Press into a 1-inch thick round. Cut out biscuits with a 2-inch cutter, being sure to push straight down through the dough.
  6. Place biscuits on baking sheet so that they just touch. Reform scrap dough, working it as little as possible and  continue cutting.
  7. Heat oven to 450 degrees. Bake until biscuits are light golden on top, 15 to 20 minutes.
 Tip : Serve warm with Mashed Potatoes, Baked Chicken/Turkey and Gravy.
