HOMEMADE RECIPE FOR BUTTERMILK BISCUITS


Buttermilk Biscuits

In order to kick off the National Buttermilk Biscuits Day celebration with you I’ll be sharing this 30 minutes – or less – recipe to bake yours and enjoy at home.

Let’s start with what you need … Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

Ø  2 cups (250 grams) All-purpose Flour

Ø  1 tablespoon Baking Powder

Ø  ¼ teaspoon baking soda

Ø  1 teaspoon Salt

Ø  6 tablespoons (85 grams) Cold unsalted Butter, cubed

Ø  3/4 cup (180 ml) cold buttermilk, plus 2 tablespoons more for brushing top of the biscuits

Ø  2 teaspoons sugar

 

Now, all you need to do is follow the instructions

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Preheat oven to 450°F.
  • Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt until well combined.
  • Cut butter into flour mixture with a pastry blender or food processor until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs (i.e until you have small pea sized pieces of butter) about 5 minutes.
  • Make a well in the center of butter and flour mixture. Pour the cold buttermilk into the mixture and gently work it together until the dough starts to come together.
  • Turn dough onto a floured work surface, pat together into a rectangle.
  • Fold the rectangle in thirds. Turn the dough, gather any crumbs, and flatten back into a rectangle. Repeat this process two more times.
  • Roll dough on a floured surface to about 1/2 inch thick rectangle.
  • Using a floured 2.5-inch biscuit cutter, cut out the biscuits. Continue to gather any scrap pieces of dough, patting it back down to 1/2-inch thickness, and cutting it until you have 12 biscuits.
  • Transfer biscuits to the prepared baking sheet. Press an indent into the top of each biscuit with your thumb.
  • Brush the top of each biscuit with a little bit of buttermilk.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until browned, about 15 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and brush with melted butter if desired. Allow to cool for a few minutes, serve, and enjoy!
