Ready In: 35 mins
Serves: 9-12
Ingredients
- 1⁄2 cup butter (8 tablespoons, divided) or 1⁄2 cup margarine (8 tablespoons, divided)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 3⁄4 cup buttermilk
Directions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Melt 4 tbl butter in a 8 or 9-inch square baking pan. Set aside.
- Mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Cut in remaining butter until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal.
- Make a hole in the dry ingredients and add buttermilk all at once. Stir only to moisten and until dough is free from sides of the bowl.
- Knead gently 10 to 12 times. Do not overknead or biscuits will be tough.
- Roll out to be about 1 inch thick. Cut with a 2-3 inch round "cookie" cutter that has been dipped in flour. Place biscuits in pan over melted butter, and turn so both sides are coated. Bake 12-15 minutes, serve immediately.
