Buttermilk Biscuits Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 cups Flour – poured and leveled – not scooped
- ¼ cup unsalted butter –cut into small cubes and put in the freezer for 15 minutes – very cold
- ¼ cup shortening – cut into small pieces and put in the freezer for 15 minutes -very cold
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 2 ½ tsp. sugar
- 1 tsp. salt – I use fine sea salt
- ¾ cup buttermilk – cold – 1 or 2 tablespoons more if dough is dry – shake container before pouring
- 2 Tbs. additional buttermilk for brushing
- 2 1/2 inch biscuit or cookie cutter or a firm glass the same size
- Note: If using salted butter instead of unsalted butter, use only ½ teaspoon salt
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, thoroughly whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar.
- Place the butter into the bowl. Using a pastry cutter, two knives or a fork, cut the butter into the dry mixture until it look like crumbs. There should be some small and larger pieces of butter still visible. If the butter and shortening are getting very soft, pop the bowl in the freezer to chill for about 5-10 minutes. Cold fats make nice flaky biscuits.
- Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the cold buttermilk. Stir and toss mixture with a fork until just combined. The dough should be soft, sticky and a little lumpy.
- Lightly four work surface. Place dough on work surface and gently flatten into a circle about 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick.
- Using a floured 2 ½ inch round cookie cutter or the rim of a sturdy glass, cut the dough straight down and place onto baking sheet: 2 inches apart for more crisp biscuits or side by side touching one another, for softer biscuits. Brush tops lightly with buttermilk and bake for about 12 -15 minutes or until tops are golden brown and a tooth pick inserted into the center comes out clean. Serve warm.
- Note: The biscuit dough can be frozen and cooked at a later date. Cut biscuits and place on the baking sheet 2 inches apart, cover lightly with plastic wrap and freeze biscuits on baking sheet. Once firm, remove biscuits from sheet and place into an airtight container or freezer bag for easy storage and return to freezer. To cook, remove frozen biscuits from freezer and allow to sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes. Place biscuits on a baking sheet, as described in #6, brush tops with buttermilk, milk or cream and bake at 400°F for about 15 – 20 minutes or until done.
