Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
2 cups all purpose flour
¼ cups cold unsalted butter
¼ teaspoon soda
3 heaping teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
⅔ cup buttermilk or enough to make a sticky moist dough
Directions:
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400º.
Combine dry ingredients and stir. Using a pastry cutter or cheese grater get the butter incorporated into the dry ingredients. Mix in the buttermilk to form soft sticky dough. Shape biscuits with floured hands or put on floured pastry sheet or wax paper and roll out lightly to at least 1/2 in thick (depending on how thick you like your biscuits), and cut out with a biscuit cutter you have dipped in flour. Place in large cast iron skillet or baking sheet that you have melted 3 tablespoons of butter or coconut oil in. Dip the top of the biscuit in the melted butter or oil then place around the edge of the pan. Continue until pan is full. If you have your biscuits touching this will insure that they will rise up and make a nice fluffy biscuits. If you place them too far apart they will spread out and make a flatter biscuit and less uniform. Bake for 15 min or until tops are golden and crusty.

Personal Notes:
I make biscuits most every Sunday morning and serve with Grandmaw Ensey's fresh fig preserves, or sausage and gravy, or whatever we might have in the jams and jelly cabinet. I love mixing strawberry preserves with a little sour cream and spread that in a biscuit. Terry likes mixing butter and peanut butter together. Add some syrup to thin it to a sauce and mix well then dip your biscuit in it...

I always dreaded cutting butter into flour with the pastry blender. I'm not sure what even gave me the idea, but, I got out the cheese grater and grated some butter into the flour, a little at a time, stopping to mix to cover the butter flakes and keep them from lumping up then grate some more...I love it!
