Buttermilk Biscuits

Ingredients

      2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
      2 tbsp granulated sugar
      2-1/2tsp baking powder
      1/2 tsp baking soda
      1/2 tsp salt
      1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
      1 cup buttermilk (As i didn't have buttermilk at home, I searched for the substitute online. Either you can use 1 cup yogurt or 1 cup milk with 1 tsp of lemon juice)
      1 egg

Preparation:

In bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Using pastry blender or 2 knives, cut in butter until in coarse crumbs. Whisk buttermilk with egg; stir into flour mixture with fork to make soft dough.

With lightly floured hands, press dough into ball. On lightly floured surface, knead gently 10 times. Pat into 3/4-inch (2 cm) thick round. Using floured 2-1/2-inch (6 cm) round cutter, cut into rounds. (I didn't have the round cookie cutter so I used different shapes of cookie cutters) Place on parchment paper-lined or floured rimless baking sheet. Bake in 400°F (200°C) oven until golden, 12 to 15 minutes.

Topping: Brush with butter
