Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Melt 4 tablespoons butter in an 8-or 9-inch square baking pan. Set aside.
Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Cut in remaining 4 tablespoons butter with a pastry blender or two knives until the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal.
Make a well in the dry ingredients and add buttermilk all at once. Stir only to moisten and until dough is free from sides of bowl.
Knead gently 10 to 12 folds. Use a light hand in kneading. Do not over-knead or biscuits will be tough.
Roll or pat out to at least 1-inch thick. Cut with a 2-or 3-inch cutter that has been dipped in flour. Place biscuits in the baking pan with the melted butter; turn biscuits over so both sides are coated. Place close together in the baking pan. Bake 12 to 15 minutes. Serve immediately.

NOTE: Mix all ingredients together just before baking. If you need to hold them, the cut dough rounds can be refrigerated for up to 1 hour.
