Buttermilk Kentucky Biscuits

Directions

Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar in a mixing bowl.

Cut in butter or shortening with pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Add buttermilk. Mix quickly to make soft dough.

Turn out onto lightly floured surface.

Knead a few times to make a soft dough, don’t overknead or the biscuits will be hard and dry.

Roll out to a 6-by-6-inch square.

Place on ungreased baking sheet. With knife, cut dough into 12 even portions.

Do not separate. Bake at 400℉ (200℃) until golden about 15 minutes.

Dust with flour, if desired when biscuits come out of the oven
