Yield: 12-15 biscuits

Ingredients

  • 3 cup flour
  • 1½ tsp baking powder
  • ¾ cup buttermilk
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1½ tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 stick butter
  • 1 egg

Instructions

Preheat oven 425°

  1. Combine flour, salt, sugar, baking powder and butter until crumbly.
  2. Mix in buttermilk, egg and just enough water to make a workable dough. Mix the dough until it is just barely combined (don't over mix).
  3. Roll the dough onto a floured cutting board about 1 inch thick. Cut with a 2 inch biscuit cutter, or a 2 inch round cup.
  4. Place biscuits on a greased baking sheet (touching each other) and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
