Time 50m

Yield 12 to 15 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 10

Cooking spray
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter (1 stick cubed and chilled, 1/2 stick melted)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup buttermilk
1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 to 3 tablespoons molasses

Steps:

  • Make the biscuits: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and the cubed butter. Using a pastry blender, cut the butter into the flour until it resembles a coarse meal. Stir in the baking powder, salt, sugar and baking soda. Form a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the buttermilk. Mix with a fork until all of the ingredients are incorporated and the dough begins to come together into a ball. (The dough will be slightly dry.)
  • Dust a clean work surface with flour, coat your palms and rub some on a rolling pin. Turn out the dough onto the work surface. Knead the dough for 1 to 2 minutes, folding it over onto itself each time. Roll out the dough until about 1/2 inch thick. Dip a 3-inch biscuit cutter or the rim of a 3-inch-wide glass in flour and then cut out the biscuits. Reshape the leftover dough into a ball, roll it out again and cut out more biscuits. Repeat until the dough is gone.
  • Place the biscuits on the baking sheet and bake until the tops are golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. While the biscuits are still hot, brush with the melted butter.
  • Make the molasses butter: Stir the butter and molasses together to combine. Serve the warm biscuits with the molasses butter.

  • Let me know how you like these.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, unprocessed bran for the best flavor and texture.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Be sure to chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the biscuits rise and keep their shape.
  • Bake the biscuits in a preheated oven. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the biscuits tough.
  • Serve the biscuits warm with your favorite toppings, such as butter, honey, or jam.
