Servings 12 biscuits

Equipment

  • Round 2 1/2" cookie cutter

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/2 Tbsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup butter (one stick, cold)
  • 2/3 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions or chives

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F. Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Cut the butter into chunks and add, then pulse a few times to combine. The butter should be in pea-sized lumps but still solid. Add the buttermilk and pulse just until a dough forms and there are no pockets of dry ingredients.
  • Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface and knead a few times to make the dough come together smoothly. Wrap it and refrigerate for 15 minutes to help keep the butter firm.
  • After 15 minutes, take the dough out and roll on a floured work surface to 1/2" thickness. Use your round cookie cutter to cut out biscuits, rerolling the scraps when you run out of dough to cut. You should be able to get 12. Place the biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown. Serve hot with butter, sausage, or even apple butter for a savory-sweet kind of deal. Enjoy!
