Biscuits From Scratch
Ingredients:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups All-Purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 8 tbsp of chilled butter
- 1 cup buttermilk plus more for brushing on the top of the biscuits
Direction:
Preheat oven to 450 deg F.
Add flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to a large bowl.
Mash in butter with your fingers, working quickly because you don't want the butter to melt.
Once the mixture resembles course crumbs, make a well in the middle of the mixture and add the one cup of very cold buttermilk, stir gently with a fork just until its mixed.
Flour your surface lightly and dump out the mixture and fold it a few times so it comes together better.
Cut with a 2 1/2 inch biscuit cutter or use a cup.
Place each cut piece on a greased baking sheet (cast iron skillet is used in the picture).
Bake for 12-15 minutes.
Serve while hot.
