• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 cup butter, cold and cut into cubes
• 2 cups buttermilk

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.

Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar in a large mixing bowl.

Cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs using a pastry blender or two knives (I used a food processor). A

dd the buttermilk and stir with a wooden spoon until the dough just comes together.

Turn out onto a floured surface and pat into a rectangle about 1 inch thick.

Cut dough into 12 squares (I like this shape because it eliminates all scraps).

Place on baking sheets and bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown.

Eat warm with butter and jam or let cool slightly and make breakfast sandwiches
