Biscuits
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 to 3/4 cup buttermilk

in place, whirl together the flour, soda, cream of tartar, and salt to
mix thoroughly. Add the butter and pulse the machine to cut the butter
into small chunks, about the size of large peas. Quickly add the
buttermilk so that the mixture is stiff, not sticky. Remove to counter
and with a little flour on your hands and on the counter, GENTLY knead
about 10 times to form a nice ball of dough. Roll out about 1/2" thick.

until tops are lightly browned. Serve immediately.
