Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425° and spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray.
  • Combine the flour, baking powder, soda and salt.
  • Toss the grated butter with the flour till the pieces are coated. Then stir in the cold buttermilk, just until a dough forms.  If the dough is too dry, add an additional tablespoon of milk to the dough.
  • Gently form a ball and press out ½ inch thick with the palm of your hand or use a rolling pin.
  • Cut biscuits out with a biscuit cutter or turn a drinking glass upside down and use it to cut the biscuits.
  • Place on the pan and you can brush the tops with melted butter or buttermilk.
  • Bake  for 10 to 12 minutes until the tops are golden.
  • Remove and brush with butter.  Serve hot with gravy, syrup, butter, jelly or honey.

  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days (these are best fresh).
  • may be frozen individually then placed in a large zippered bag for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight, then bake.
