2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more as needed
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, diced

BUTTERMILK DROP BISCUITS



Buttermilk Drop Biscuits image

This recipe is from Lodge Cast Iron, and is also featured in Cast-Iron Cooking for Dummies. It's designed to take advantage of a cast iron biscuit pan or a cast iron skillet or griddle. I used the basic recipe last night, and they came out tender and fluffy like a drop biscuit but with the taste of a good ol' buttermilk biscuit. I'll include variations from both sources in my end notes.

Categories     Breads

Time 25m

Yield 7 biscuits, 7 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup vegetable shortening, cold
1 1/2 cups buttermilk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F.
  • In a mixing bowl, add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, cream of tartar, and salt. Stir the dry ingredients together.
  • Make sure you are using cold butter or shortening, and cut into the dry mixture with a pastry blender, fork or knife method. The mixture will have a coarse crumb consistency when you are ready for the next step.
  • Pour in the buttermilk, and stir just until everything is blended. Take care not to overmix.
  • Drop Biscuit Pan method: If you have a drop biscuit pan, spoon in the dough into each well, filling it pretty full. I used a 7 well cast-iron pan. If you don't have a pan - see the next step.
  • Skillet or Griddle method: Mound the dough into about 7 biscuits onto your griddle or in your skillet. (Make sure these are oven-proof!).
  • Bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Variations: For parsley biscuits, add 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley. For a garden vegetable biscuit, add 2 tablepoons finely grated carrots, 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley, and 1 tablespoon of finely chopped green onion.

KIMCHI CHEDDAR BISCUITS



Kimchi Cheddar Biscuits image

Regardless of where, or even when, you're eating a biscuit, the formula's the same: a little flour, a little water, frozen butter. A pair of deft, knowing hands and an oven to bring them home. A biscuit can be a side dish of little note, or it can characterize an entire place and time, etching its own corner in your memory. The acidity and crunch of ripe kimchi meld deeply with Cheddar here, and also in versions from Kay Chun and Joy Cho, resulting in a biscuit that traverses multiple flavors from bite to bite. For the best results, chill your butter in the freezer and your buttermilk in the refrigerator for at least an hour.

Provided by Bryan Washington

Categories     breakfast, brunch, quick breads

Time 55m

Yield 6 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 cup/145 grams drained kimchi, finely chopped
2 cups/258 grams all-purpose flour (see Tip)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons brown sugar
3/4 cup/66 grams shredded sharp Cheddar
6 tablespoons/85 grams cold unsalted butter, plus more for baking sheet
1 cup/240 milliliters cold buttermilk

Steps:

  • Stir-fry the chopped kimchi in a stainless-steel pan over medium heat until the juices have evaporated and the kimchi smells even more fragrant, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate and allow to cool completely.
  • Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and brown sugar in a bowl, breaking up any lumps of sugar. Add the cheese and the cooled kimchi. Stir to combine; it's all right if the dough is scraggly.
  • On the large holes of a grater, grate the chilled butter over the other ingredients and stir to combine. You want the butter to be around the size of peas. While stirring, gradually add the buttermilk and stir until combined. Be careful to handle the dough as little as possible.
  • Drop the dough in 6 mounds onto a greased baking sheet. (If your baking sheet is nonstick, line it with parchment paper instead.) Pat the mounds gently into squares.
  • Put the biscuits on their baking sheet in a freezer to chill for at least 1 hour. Heat the oven to 425 degrees.
  • Bake the biscuits until golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. Remove the biscuits from the oven, and allow them to sit for several minutes before serving hot.

Tips:

  • Use fresh buttermilk and baking soda to ensure the biscuits rise properly.
  • Do not overmix the dough, as this will make the biscuits tough.
  • Drop the dough onto the baking sheet from a height of about 2 inches to create a more rustic look.
  • Bake the biscuits until they are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Serve the biscuits warm with butter, honey, or your favorite jam.

Conclusion:

These cheesy buttermilk drop biscuits are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. With their soft and fluffy texture, cheesy flavor, and golden brown crust, these biscuits are sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and tasty bread recipe, give these cheesy buttermilk drop biscuits a try!
