Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour3 teaspoons baking powder1/2 teaspoon baking soda1/4 teaspoon salt3 tablespoons cold butter3/4 to 1 cup buttermilk1 tablespoon fat-free milk

Preparation

Preheat oven to 450°. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in enough buttermilk just to moisten dough.

Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead 3-4 times. Pat or roll to 3/4-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 2-1/2-in. biscuit cutter. Place in a large ungreased cast-iron or other ovenproof skillet.

Brush with milk. Bake until golden brown, 12-15 minutes.
