Basic Fluffy Buttermilk Biscuits
Fluffy biscuits are so simple to make. You know you want some for breakfast! Yield: 10 biscuits
Servings: 5 people
Ingredients
- 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- ¾ cup buttermilk, cold*
- 4 tablespoon butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450F. Lightly grease a baking sheet and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl combine flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
- Pour the buttermilk into a second bowl. Gently pour the melted butter into the cold buttermilk, stirring as you pour. (The butter should solidify into nice small flakes.)
- Pour the buttermilk and butter mixture into the dry ingredients, mixing just until your dough comes together.
- Knead the dough gently 5-6 times and then roll it out to ½ inch thick. Cut your biscuits with a 2 ½ inch biscuit (or cookie) cutter. Re-roll any excess dough and continue cutting until all the dough has been used.
- Place the cut biscuits onto the greased baking sheet. Bake for 14 - 15 minutes or until lightly golden. Serve warm.
Notes
*Don't have buttermilk? No problem. Place a scant tablespoon of white vinegar in a 1 cup liquid measure. Add milk to ¾ c. Let the mixture stand for 5 minutes before using in the recipe.
