Southern Biscuites

Southern Biscuits (Makes a dozen)
2 cup flour
4 teaspoons baking powder ( no aluminum)
¼ teaspoon baking soda
¾ teaspoon sea salt
2 tablespoon butter, for flavor
2 tablespoon baking margarine or shortening
1 cup buttermilk or ½ can be yogurt (chilled) (This makes them Southern)
preheat oven 350
In a large mixing bowl combine all dry ingredients, flour, baking power, baking soda, and salt. Use your finger to rub butter and shortening into flour until the mixture looks like crumbs. Make a well in the center to pour in the chilled buttermilk. Stir just enough to make the sticky dough come together, don't over do.
Turn the dough on a floured surface and add flour on each side of your dough. Flatten out about 2 inch and cut out with a floured glass or biscuit cutter. Add butter on top and place them on a greased cookie sheet so they just touch. Take the left over dough and gently form more biscuits without over doing the dough, which will make them tougher than the rest. Bake until tall, light golden about 10-15 minutes
*Add in a little shredded sharp cheese for a nice heavier taste
