Yield Makes 8 to 10 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for surface
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon sugar
5 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, plus more for serving

3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons buttermilk, plus more for brushing
Pepper jelly, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a large bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry blender (or rub in with your fingers) until pea-size crumbs form. Cut in yolk. Stir in buttermilk until just combined.

Categories     Biscuits

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/2 c unbleached flour
1 1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 Tbsp sugar
1/2 c cold butter
1 c cold buttermilk
extra butter for brushing biscuits

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 485 degree F. Sift the dry ingredients in a medium bowl.
  • 2. Slice the butter into pats and with fingers, rub the butter into the flour, until you have pieces the size of large and small peas.
  • 3. Stir the buttermilk into the flour with a fork, just until the dough starts to come together. Using your hands, start kneading the dough to incorporate all of the flour. If the dough is not sticky, add more milk.
  • 4. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and fold over itself 2 or 3 times ( this is what makes the layers.) Just fold and push 3 times. With your hands, pat out dough to 3/4 inch thickness. Cut out dough using a 3 inch biscuit cutter - DO NOT TWIST THE CUTTER! Twisting will seal sides, and keep biscuits from rising correctly.
  • 5. Place biscuits on a greased baking sheet or cake pan, so they almost touch. Brush tops with buttermilk or melted butter.
  • 6. Bake for 10 - 12 minutes or until desired brownness occurs. I turn the pan half way through baking time.
  • 7. Brush the biscuits when taken from the oven and serve them hot. Enjoy with honey, butter, jam or gravy!

Tips:

  • Use cold buttermilk and butter. This will help the biscuits rise properly and create a flaky texture.
  • Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make the biscuits tough.
  • Cut the biscuits with a sharp biscuit cutter. This will help create clean edges and prevent the biscuits from sticking together.
  • Bake the biscuits in a hot oven. This will help them rise quickly and create a golden brown crust.
  • Serve the biscuits warm with butter, honey, or jam.

Conclusion:

Tender Buttermilk Biscuits are a classic Southern comfort food that is easy to make and always a hit. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create light, fluffy, and flaky biscuits that are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Whether you enjoy them plain, with butter and honey, or topped with your favorite gravy or stew, these biscuits are sure to become a family favorite.
