Buttermilk Biscuits - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 c. flour
2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
dash of salt
1 Tbsp. sugar
1/2 c. margarine
3/4 c. buttermilk

Preparation

Mix flour, powder, soda, salt and sugar in a large bowl.
Cut in margarine with a pastry blender until mixture forms small crumbs.
Add buttermilk.
Mix just enough to make a soft dough. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead a few times.
(Don't knead too much or biscuits will be dry and hard!) Roll the dough out to a 6 x 8-inch shape and place it on an ungreased cookie sheet. With a sharp knife, cut the dough into 12 equal pieces but do not separate.
Bake in a 400\u00b0 oven for 15 minutes.
Serve hot.
