THE BEST FLAKY BUTTERMILK BISCUITS



The Best Flaky Buttermilk Biscuits image

We tried several versions of this recipe, including one with double the amount of baking powder. And while the biscuits turned out puffy and beautiful, they ultimately were too dry. So, we tweaked the baking powder amount along with the butter and buttermilk and arrived at these beauties -flaky, golden, tender and moist, just as biscuits should be.

Time 35m

Yield 12 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting (see Cook's Note)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon fine salt
10 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
3/4 cup buttermilk, plus more for brushing

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt in a medium bowl. Rub 2 tablespoons of the cold butter into the flour with your fingertips until completely absorbed. Work the remaining 8 tablespoons of cold butter into the flour with your fingertips until pea-size bits of butter remain. Use a rubber spatula to stir the buttermilk into the flour until the mixture comes together into a shaggy dough. (Don't overmix the dough.)
  • Lightly flour a cutting board or work surface, turn the dough out onto it and pat into a rectangle. Fold the dough in half and pat again into a 1/2-inch-thick rectangle. Then fold the dough in thirds, as if folding a letter, and pat to an even thickness. Cut out biscuits with a 2 1/2-inch round biscuit cutter and put on the prepared baking sheet. Press together the remaining scraps of dough. Pat out and fold the dough into thirds again and cut out more biscuits. Brush the biscuit tops with buttermilk.
  • Bake until the tops are lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Cool on the pan at least 5 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes     Bread Recipes

Yield Makes 12 small biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon coarse salt
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
3/4 cup milk (see headnote)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Butter or line a baking sheet.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Using a fork or 2 table knives, combine the butter and flour mixture until it resembles a coarse meal. Slowly add the milk, stirring with a fork, to the desired consistency.
  • For softer biscuits, drop 2 tablespoons of the dough onto the lined baking sheet. For firmer biscuits, turn the dough out onto a clean, lightly floured surface and gently knead just to bring the dough together. Carefully roll out the dough about 3/4 inch thick. Using a biscuit cutter or sturdy glass, cut about 12 biscuits, rerolling any scraps. Place on the lined baking sheet. (The biscuits can be frozen at this point. Freeze on the baking sheet, then remove to a resealable container or plastic bag for easier storage.) Bake the biscuits for 13 to 15 minutes (add 3 to 4 additional minutes for frozen ones), until golden brown. Cool slightly and serve warm.

  • Serve immediately.
  • Cool left overs, wrap with plastic wrap and freeze as soon as possible.
  • NOTE.
  • There's two things to remember when making biscuits.
  • -Keepthings cold so the butter does not melt.
  • The process of cutting the butter into the flour actually coats the flour with a light layer of grease to prevent it from absorbing liquid and creating gluten-- which will make the product tough and more bread like.
  • If the butter starts to get soft while working it into the flour then refrigerate the batch for 20 mins before going on.
  • -Workfast and gently.
  • Only mix as much as necessary to do the job.
  • Over working dough develops gluten.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use high-quality ingredients.
  • Make sure the butter is cold when you cut it into the flour. This will help create a flaky texture.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the biscuits tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the biscuits hold their shape.
  • Bake the biscuits in a hot oven. This will help them rise quickly and evenly.
  • Serve the biscuits warm with your favorite toppings.
