Ingredients
4 cups flour
2 Tablespoons baking powder
1 teaspoon soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon sugar
2/3 cup chilled butter, additional melted butter to brush biscuit tops
1-1/2 cup buttermilk
Preparation
Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Cut in butter and mix with a pastry blender until coarse crumbles form. Add buttermilk and stir until dry ingredients are moistened. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface; knead lightly four or five times. Roll dough until about 3/4 inches thick; cut with a biscuit cutter. Place onto a baking sheet, brush tops with melted butter, and bake at 450 degrees for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
