Buttermilk Biscuits

2 cups white flour, plus more for dusting
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
6 T unsalted butter
1 cup buttermilk


>


Preheat oven to 450°F.

Combine dry ingredients in a bowl.

Cut butter into chunks and cut into the flour until it resembles course meal.

Add buttermilk and mix until just combined. Dough should be wet.

Turn dough onto floured board. Gently pat dough until it is about 1/2 inch thick. Fold the dough about 5 times and press down until about 1 inch thick.

Cut out biscuits with knife or cookie cutter.

Place dough biscuits on a cookie sheet... or in a casserole dish (if you prefer softer sides).

Bake about 10-12 minutes.



Note: You can make this dough, cut them into biscuit rounds, put them on cookie sheets and freeze them. Once hardened you can toss into a freezer-safe bag and they should be good for about a month.

When you want fresh biscuits, simply place them frozen on a cookie sheet and bake at 450°F for about 20 minutes.
