KENTUCKY BISCUITS

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 dash salt

1 tablespoon white sugar

1/2 cup butter

3/4 cup buttermilk

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Cut in 1/2 cup butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Mix in the buttermilk. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead 2 minutes. Transfer to an ungreased baking sheet, roll into a 6×6 inch square, and cut into 12 even sections. Do not separate.

Bake 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until a knife inserted in the center of the square comes out clean. Separate into biscuits, and serve hot.
