Buttermilk Biscuits

2 cups flour
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1 tbs. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
6 tbs. butter-cold
1 c. buttermilk

Preheat your oven to 450°F.

1. 
   
   Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl then
   cut the butter into pads and cut into the flour until it is all mixed.
    I use my hands to mix it all up. There will be chunks of butter. Thats ok.
   Add the buttermilk and mix until combined.
   If it appears on the dry side, add a bit more buttermilk. It should be wet.
   Turn the dough out onto a floured board.
   Gently, gently PAT (do NOT roll with a rolling pin) the dough out until it's about 1/2" thick. Fold the dough about 5 times, gently press the dough down to a 1 inch thick.
   Use a round cutter to cut into rounds. I use the top of a cup.
   You can gently knead the scraps together and make a few more, but they will not be anywhere near as good as the first ones.
   Place the biscuits on a cookie sheet- if you like soft sides, put them touching each other.
   If you like"crusty" sides, put them about 1 inch apart- these will not rise as high as the biscuits put close together.
   
   
   Bake for about 10-12 minutes- the biscuits will be a beautiful light golden brown on top and bottom.
