Mom's Tips

April 11th, 2017 by Jim Field

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons cold butter
  • 3/4 to 1 cup butermilk
  • 1 tablespoon fat-free milk

In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.  Stir in enough buttermilk just to moisten dough.

Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead 3-4 times.  Pat or roll to 3/4 inch thickness.  Cut with a floured 2 1/2 inch biscuit cutter.  Place on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray.

Brush with milk.  Bake at 450 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.  Brush with butter.
