Southern Biscuits

Simple and easy, light and fluffy, good for breakfast or brunch with creamed sausage (see my recipe) or served with a main dish in place of the standard bread or dinner rolls.

• Ready In: 22 mins
• Serves: 12

Ingredients

• 1⁄3 cup butter, softened
• 2  cups  sifted all-purpose flour
• 1⁄4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1  tablespoon baking powder
• 3⁄4-1  cup milk

Directions

1. Cut butter into sifted dry ingredients.
2. Add milk gradually to make a soft dough.
3. Knead 30 seconds on a lightly floured board just enough to blend ingredients. If you handle the dough too long, it'll make for tough biscuits.
4. Roll out to 1/2 inch thickness.
5. Cut with a floured biscuit cutter or the floured top of a water glass.
6. Place on a greased cookie sheet.
7. Bake at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for 12- 15 minutes or until tops of biscuits are a golden brown.
