Light, fluffy and delicious, these are the best biscuits I’ve ever tasted!
INGREDIENTS
- 2 cups Flour
- 2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
- 3/4 tsp Salt
- 4 Tbsp cold Butter
- 1 cup buttermilk, chilled
METHOD
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- In a large bowl combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and butter.
- Be sure that you’re butter is cold, and working quickly with your hands, rub the butter into the dry ingredients until mixture gets crumbly.
- Add the chilled buttermilk and stir JUST UNTIL the dough comes together.
- The dough will be wet.
- Flour a work surface and turn the dough out.
- Fold the dough gently about 5 times.
- Press dough evenly, making it about 1-inch thick.
- Cut biscuits with whatever shape cutter you want to use.
- I typically use a 2-inch cutter, but sometimes I like to make extra large biscuits and other times I want mini biscuits.
- Continue the process until all the dough has been used.
- Place biscuits on baking sheet a few inches apart.
- Bake for about 12 to 15 minutes or until biscuits are lightly golden.
- Best eaten right away topped with butter & jam.
- Enjoy!
oh wow!! Biscuits don’t exist in Australia — even at McDonalds. Any biscuits eaten down under are really cookies. Scones are close but no comparison to a wonderful fluffy biscuit with a bit of country ham and egg.
(no country ham here either!)
I’m going to make some breakfast sausage and these biscuits and be in American heaven. Thanks!
I am sooooooooooooo excited to see these fat crispy top and edged biscuits! It’s about 7 am MST, and I just might head to the kitchen and whip up a batch (luckily I even have buttermilk as I’ve been doing b’milk cornbread!)…maybe do some sausage gravy w/’em! Ya know, you just can’t go wrong w/these down home simple things…now to make mine look like yours!! xoxo Ally
I love biscuits!! It is the only reason I ever want to go to KFC! I can’t wait to make these!
