| Preheat the oven to 450° and butter the cookie sheet. Stir together the flour(s), salt, baking powder and soda, and sugar. Cut in the butter until the mixture is coarse like meal. Mix in the buttermilk and water, then knead briefly until you have a smooth dough. Roll the dough out onto a floured surface, until about ½-inch thick. Cut into biscuits with cookie cutter or glass. When all you have left is scraps, re-roll the dough and cut more biscuits. Transfer biscuits to buttered cookie sheet and bake 8-10 minutes, until golden brown.
