Buttermilk Biscuits

Method

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees
• Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray
• In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt
• Using a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut in the butter until the mixture forms coarse crumbs
• With a fork, stir in the buttermilk just until evenly moistened
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface; knead lightly 4 times
• Pat the dough to 1/2-inch thickness and cut with a 2-inch round biscuit cutter to make 8 biscuits
• Place on the prepared baking sheet, brush the tops lightly with the milk, and bake until lightly browned and puffy, 15 to 20 minutes.
