Buttermilk Biscuits

Parade Magazine

Ingredients:
2 cups all purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into 12 pieces
3/4 cups of cold buttermilk

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 425°F. Whisk the flour, baking powder, soda, sugar, and salt together in a bowl. Drop in butter and with your fingers or a pastry blender, rub into the flour until you have crumbs-some the size of flakes, some like baby peas.
Reach into the bowl and knead gently 3 or 4 times.
Turn it onto a floured surface and roll or pat into a circle about 1/2 inch thick. Use a 2 inch biscuit cutter to cut out as many biscuits as you can; gather the scraps, re-roll, and cut more biscuits.
Transfer biscuits to a foil lined baking sheet and bake 15 to 18 minutes or until puffed and golden. Cool 5 minutes and serve split. Makes 16. Per serving: 100 calories, 13g carbs,2g protein, 4.5 fat, 10 mg cholesterol.
