Buttermilk Biscuit

Ingredients (Makes 8-10 biscuits)

• All Purpose Flour....2 Cups
• Sugar....1 tsp
• Salt....3/4 tsp
• Baking Powder....1 TBP
• Butter....125 g / 1 stick
• Buttermilk....3/4 Cup

Steps:

1. Preheat oven at 450oF.
2. Mix all dry ingredients together in a bowl. Cut butter in,until there are just tiny little pea-sized crumbles.
3. Then, add the buttermilk and mix in, to form a ball of dough.
4. Spread some flour on the counter top. Lay the dough on it and use a rolling pin to beat it. Give it about 4-6 whacks and then fold it in half. Do this over and over until you’ve done it 10 times. Then, roll the dough out so that it’s about 2 cm thick (about 3/4 inch).
5. Cut the biscuits with a cookie cutter. For the leftover dough, fold and whack twice again and roll it out to cut into more biscuits.
6. Place them on a baking sheet close together (touching sides) so that they rise up and not out. Bake for 12-15 minutes.
