buttermilk biscuits, this one is my own, i played with several and have become happy with this. It produces a nice, flaky and delicious biscuit:

Preheat oven to 375 for soft biscuits, or 410-425 if you like them to crunch a little

4C AP Flour
1tsp salt
1Tbl baking soda
1/2Tbl baking powder
1 stick butter, cold or frozen
1 1/2C Buttermilk
1/2 C plain yogurt
1Tbl buttermilk, milk, or butter for brushing biscuit-tops
1/2C flour for flouring a work surface.
Combine Flour, Baking Soda, Baking Powder and salt, sift into a large bowl

Cut cold butter into small pieces, or grate (yes, grate, its easy and works well) and add into flour mixture

Using your *fingers* rub butter into flour until the texture of the mix resembles crumbs

Add yogurt and buttermilk (you can use only 2C buttermilk, but the yogurt gives even more flavor) and mix just to combine (if you mix too long, they get tough)

Lightly flour a smooth surface, or, use parchment paper. NOT WAX.

-If using a counter or some such, turn the dough onto the floured counter, dust the top with flour, and roll out witha r olling pin to 1" thickness, FOLD OVER ITSELF (this makes the biscuit flaky, dont skip it!) and roll again, do this 3-4 times.

-If using parchment paper: flour a large sheet of parchment paper, turno ut dough, dust with flour, and fold paper over to press it out. fold over itself,using the
paper, and press again, 3-4 times and finish with a 1" thick sheet of dough.

Using a floured biscuit cutter, press STRAIGHT DOWN (if you twist it while pushing, they dont rise proper) and THEN twist at the bottom. you should get 9 or 10 biscuits out of this, place them on a sheet pan/cookie sheet at least an inch apart and brush the tops with buttermilk/butter/milk, whichever.
--You wont get all the biscuits on the first cut, fold the dough over itself JUST once or twice more, then cut again.

Bake for 20 minutes.

serving suggestions? i love them with a sausage gravy, maybe just some butter or jelly on them if im having some eggs and bacon, or cut in half and stuffed with any number of things: egg, bacon, ham, sausage, cheese, whatever
