Buttermilk Biscuits
4 cups All-Purpose flour
2 Tbs. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1 Tbs. sugar plus 1/4 tsp.
Two-thirds cup margarine (softened)
1-1/2 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup margarine (melted)
Combine dry ingredients. Cut in (with a pastry blender or two knives, working in a criss-cross manner) two-thirds cup softened margarine until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the buttermilk, stir until moistened.
Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface; knead lightly about 5 times. (Don't overhandle the dough - overhandling is as disasterous as unhandling!) Roll dough to 3/4" and cut with a biscuit cutter.
Place biscuits on a lightly greased baking sheet. Brush tops with melted margarine (this will give them a golden brown appearance when cooked).
Bake at 450 degrees for 15 minutes.
Yield: 15 biscuits (if biscuit cutter is 2-3/4")
