BUTTER BISCUITS

Homemade biscuits are always so comforting, aren't they? I mean, as long as they aren't dried out. These butter biscuits are so moist and delicious, you won't be able to have just one! Your hands get a little sticky, but it's more than worth it!

Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cups milk nonfat ok
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider or white wine vinegar
  • 2 ½ cups flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • ½ cup cold butter cut into small cubes
  • 1 cup fine cornmeal
