MEK Homemade Buttermilk Biscuits

Grease two trays and heat the oven to 400 F.

Sift together flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Add salt and sugar to it and whisk. Now add diced cold butter to it and rub the mixture with your fingers. You should see some big and some small pieces of butter in there.

Now add the shredded cheese to it and mix. Add buttermilk to the dry mix and mix well till you get a shaggy dough. Transfer to a floured surface and pat it flat. Now fold the edges towards the center and pat it flat again. Repeat the same process.

You have to do this quickly so the butter won’t melt in there. Spread the dough into ½ inch thickness and cut out your biscuits.

Gather the dough scraps and shape it again for more biscuits. Arrange your biscuits on the tray and brush the tops with some melted butter. Bake for 15 minutes or till lightly golden on the edges.

Take them out and brush them with some more herb and garlic butter. Serve with soup or with a fruit preserve.
