jonathan garlic biscuits

Garlic Biscuits
2 1/2 cups flour 1 teaspoon sugar 1 teaspoon sage 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 clove garlic, chopped 3 tablespoons butter 3/4 cup buttermilk

1. Stir together the flour, sugar, sage, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and garlic.

2. Cut the butter into the flour mixture until crumbly. Stir in the buttermilk.

3. Place the dough on a floured surface and gently knead to form a ball. Roll out the dough until it is about 3/4 inch (2 cm) thick.

4. Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out the biscuits, and place them on a baking sheet lightly coated with nonstick spray or butter. Bake at 400°F (204°C) for 18 to 20 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown.
