MOM'S HOMEMADE BUTTERMILK BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450° F. In a large bowl stir together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, and cream of tartar.
• Using a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles pea like crumbs.
• Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the buttermilk to the dry ingredients; stir until just combined.
• Turn the biscuit dough out onto a floured surface. Knead 5-6 times to bring the dough together. Flatten to about 1" thick using your hands.
• Cut with a 3" biscuit cutter and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, being sure to have the biscuits touch each other slightly.
• Bake for 10 minutes or until biscuits are golden brown.
