Buttermilk Biscuits

Ingredients:

1 cup all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp table salt
2 tbsp butter, chilled and cut into pieces
1/2 cup buttermilk

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

2. In a large bowl, add the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Mix thoroughly.

3. Add the pieces of butter to the bowl. Using a pastry cutter, mix the butter with the flour until it resembles coarse meal. Then, add the buttermilk.

4. Stir in the buttermilk until moist and knead the dough a few times. If the dough is too moist then add more flour as you are kneading.

5. Roll the dough to 1/2 thickness and cut with a 2 inch biscuit cutter. Place the biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet and brush with egg wash.

6. Bake for about 10-12 minutes or until nice and golden.
