Buttermilk Biscuits

I had some homemade chicken pot pie filling left over, (the recipe made 2 pies, I only had one pie crust), so I decided to serve it over these Homemade Buttermilk Biscuits. It was a family pleaser!  I had never made homemade biscuits before, but now that I  know how easy they are to make, I will not be buying them in a can or mix again!

2 cups flour

2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt

1/3 cup butter (for vegan, use Earth Balance)

3/4 cup buttermilk (for vegan, use alternative milk with 1 Tbsp vinegar)

In a bowl, stir together the dry ingredients; cut in butter with a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse meal.  Add the buttermilk and mix until the dry ingredients are moistened.  Turn onto a floured board and knead 6-10 times.  Roll to 3/4 inch thickness and cut with a lightly floured biscuit cutter.  Place on an ungreased baking sheet and bake in a 450 degree oven for about 15 minutes, or until golden.  Makes 12 biscuits.
