Directions:
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda.

- Add the buttermilk, tossing with a fork until a dough forms.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
- Gather into a disk.
- Knead lightly a few times just until smooth.
- (The dough can be made up to 2 hours ahead, wrapped in plastic wrap, and refrigerated until ready to use).
- Pat the dough to 3/4 inch thick.
- Using a biscuit cutter or a glass dipped in flour, cut out biscuits.
- Place the biscuits, on an ungreased baking sheet, 2 inches apart.

- Bake the biscuits until golden, 12-15 minutes.
- Serve hot.
