Buttermilk Biscuits


This recipe makes about a half dozen LARGE biscuits or a dozen smaller ones... so I usually DOUBLE it so that I have biscuits for a few days after....which is very important when you live in a biscuit-less country!

Preheat oven to 400F.
Mix 2 cups of flour with 3 tsp baking powder and 1 tsp salt.
Cut in 6 TBSP of ICE COLD butter.
Use your hands to mix this together so that it resembles corn meal when you are finished.

Measure out 3/4 cup of buttermilk and add in 3 TBSP of honey. Blend together.
Add to the dry mix and blend everything together WITH YOUR HANDS. Be careful not to overmix.

Roll out dough onto a floured surface until it is about 1 inch thick.
Using a drinking glass (size of the glass will determine the size of your biscuits), cut out your biscuits and place on a baking sheet.

Bake about 12 minutes or until golden brown.
SERVE WARM!
Preferably with GRAVY! :-)
