By KSmitherman

Ingredients

• 2 cups flour
• 1 tbs. sugar
• 1 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
• 1/2 tsp. baking soda
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 1/4 cup milk
• melted butter, to brush on top

Preparation

Step 1

preheat oven to 400.
Mix together flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda in a medium bowl.
Slice cold butter into cubes and use a pastry knife or potato masher to cut butter into dry mixture until no large chunks of butter remain.
Add buttermilk and milk and stir with a spoon until dough forms.
Roll out to 1/2 inch thick on a floured surface.
Cut biscuits with a 3 inch biscuit cutter and arrange on a lightly- greased or parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
Bake for 22 to 24 minutes or until tops begin to turn light brown.
Remove biscuits from the oven and cool for a couple of minutes, then brush each biscuit top with melted butter.
