"I found this recipe in a newspaper several years ago in a rural Colorado town. I don't remember the name of the paper. My family (kids especially) love weekend mornings when we enjoy these biscuits along with bacon & fruit! Enjoy!"

• 1⁄4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1⁄2 cup butter

directions

1. Sift dry ingredients together.
2. Using a pastry blender, cut in the butter until it resembles coarse meal.
3. Stir in buttermilk untill all ingredients are wet.
4. Turn onto floured surface, then knead the dough a few times until it's 1/2 inch thick.
5. Cut into 2 inch rounds & place on ungreased cookie sheet.
6. Lightly brush tops of biscuits with milk.
7. Bake in a preheated oven set to 425 for 12-15 minutes, or until tops are golden.

9. Note: It's VERY important to sift the dry ingredients. I tried making this without sifting, & learned it's worth the extra step!
