How to Make Biscuits For Two

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the buttermilk, mixing gently until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix!
**For dropped biscuits:** Drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each biscuit.
**For rolled biscuits:** Lightly flour a clean surface. Turn the dough out onto the surface and gently knead 10 times. Roll the dough to 1/2 inch thickness. Use a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter or knife to cut out biscuits. Reroll scraps if desired.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
