How Do You Make Homemade Buttermilk Biscuits?
It is breakfast time and you want to fix something a little different. Buttermilk biscuits complement everything from an omelet to bacon and gravy. They also can stand alone as a breakfast meal with your favorite butter, creamy cheese spread or nut butter. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a medium to large mixing bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda until well-blended.

Roll the dough out until it is about ½ inch thick. Using a 2-inch biscuit cutter, cut the dough into round biscuits. Place biscuits about 1 inch
