Serving Size : 16 Large
Categories : Side Dish
--------------------------------
1 1/2 quarts all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons double-acting baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups butter -- cold
2 egg -- slightly beaten
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
-------------------------
1. Sift dry ingredients together. Cut butter into tablespoons and, with a pastry blender, blend into dry ingredients until mixture resembles cornmeal.
2. Stir 1/2 cup buttermilk into beaten egg and add mixture to flour mixture. Stir quickly, adding remainder of buttermilk as necessary until dough forms a ball.
3. Turn onto floured surface and knead once. Let dough rest for a minute, then roll out to 3/4' thickness.
4. Cut into 2' rounds. Place biscuits on buttered baking sheet, 1" apart. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes or until golden brown.

NOTES : For cheese biscuits: When kneading dough, knead in 1/2 cup grated cheese.
