Sweet Biscuits
3 cups flour ***
2/3 cup sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup cold butter, diced
2/3 cup buttermilk

*** This recipe calls for Southern all purpose flour, such as White Lily
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Using a pastry blender, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Make a
well in the center of the mixture. Add the buttermilk and the vanilla. Using a fork, stir
until a dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a lighly floured surface. Using your hands,
gently knead for 3 or 4 turns. Pat the dough to 3/4 inch thickness. Using a 3-inch
biscuit cutter, cut the biscuits. Place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Bake at
