Mix flour, baking powder, soda, salt & sugar; sift into a medium bowl. With a pastry blender or with fingertips, cut butter into dry ingredients until mixture is the consistency of fine crumbs. Whisk buttermilk with eggs. Pour in milk all at once and stir to mix. As soon as mixture holds together, turn out onto a floured work surface and knead lightly.
