MILE HIGH BISCUITS RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Combine flour, salt, sugar, baking powder and butter until crumbly. Mix in buttermilk, egg and just enough water to make a workable dough. Mix the dough until it is just barely combined (don't over mix). Roll the dough onto a floured cutting board about 1 inch thick. Cut with a 2 inch biscuit cutter, or a 2 inch round cup. Place on a greased baking sheet (touching each other) and bake 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Makes about 12-15 biscuits, depending how thick you make them. Tips to making awesome biscuits: *ONLY hand mix your dough. Don't mix in a Bosch or with a hand mixer. The dough will be too tough and the dough will become dry if you use a mixer. You don't want to over mix this recipe. The best way to mix this dough is with a pastry cutter or using two knives and cutting the dough back and forth. This method takes a little longer but will ensure the perfect biscuit. You want pieces of butter left in your biscuit, that is what keeps the dough light and flaky. *Next tip is to keep your biscuit dough fairly thick. You want a tall and thick biscuit more than you do a thin and hard biscuit. Keeping the dough thick will ensure a chewy and soft biscuit. I keep my dough about 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick (cooking times may vary depending how thick you make them).

Generously spray the inside and outside of a 1/4 cup dry measure cup with nonstick cooking spray. Distribute 1 cup flour into a rimmed baking sheet. 2. In a food processor, pulse flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and baking soda to combine, about six 1-second pulses. Scatter butter cubes evenly over dry ingredients; pulse until mixture resembles pebbly, coarse cornmeal, eight to ten 1-second pulses. Transfer mixture to medium bowl. Add buttermilk to dry ingredients and stir with a rubber spatula until just incorporated (dough will be very wet and slightly lumpy.) 3. Using 1/4 cup dry measure and working quickly, scoop level amount of dough; drop dough from cup into flour on baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough, forming 12 evenly-sized mounds. Dust tops of each piece of dough with flour. With floured hands, gently pick up each piece of dough and coat with flour, gently shape into a rough ball, shake off excess and place in prepared cake pan. Arrange 9 rounds around perimeter of cake pan and 3 in center. Brush rounds with hot melted butter, taking care not to flatten them. 4.
