BUTTER BISCUITS FROM REGINA CHARBONEAU TWIN OAKS BED & BREAKFAST NATCHEZ MS

Steps:

• In a metal mixing bowl, add flour, baking powder and sugar. Blend well. Cut margarine and butter into small cubes (½ inch) Mix with dry ingredients and coat the margarine and butter well with the flour mixture. Add buttermilk and mix into a dough. Do not overmix, there should be visible pieces of butter and margarine, that is what makes these biscuits flaky. Flour a work space and roll out ¾ inch thick, fold and roll again. Repeat this process two to three times until you have a smooth dough. The dough will be layered with butter and margarine. Cut into rounds, whichever size you prefer. I prefer 2 inches. Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes or until golden brown. You may bake in muffin tins to brown evenly.
