 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  2       c            Plus 2 tbsp cake flour
  2       ts           Baking powder
    1/4   ts           EACH baking soda and salt
    1/2                Stick cold margarine (not
                       Spread) -- cut in small
                       Cubes
    3/4   c            Buttermilk

 Heat oven to 450.  Have a baking sheet ready.

 In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking
 soda and salt.  Cut in margarine with pastry blended,
 or work in with fingertips until lumps are no larger
 than small peas. Stir in buttermilk with a fork until
 mixture clumps together. Press dough into a ball.

 On a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured
 rolling pin, roll dough into a 10x6-inch rectangle.
 With the long edge facing you, fold in both short ends
 so they meet in center. Fold dough in half (as if you
 were closing a book), forming a packet 4 layers thick.
 Roll dough into a 6-inch square.

 With a floured knife, cut dough into 16 squares, using
 a straight downward motion with each cut (don't saw
 dough).  Place biscuits 1 1/2 inches apart on
 ungreased baking sheet.

 Bake 10-12 minutes until biscuits are lightly browned.
 Removed to a wire rack to cool.
