Carolina Buttermilk Biscuits (And/Or Southern Shortcake) image

There is nothing better then the smell of Southern biscuits baking in the kitchen. When they hit the table piping hot they are sure to disappear as quickly as they appeared. This recipe makes an excellent base for Strawberry Shortcake! Just increase the sugar to 2 Tablespoons (optional) and whip up some cream with a dash of vanilla extract and slice some fresh strawberries.... and Enjoy!

Time 16m

Yield 12 Biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups all-purpose flour
3 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons lard, cold or 5 tablespoons cold butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3/4 cup buttermilk, plus
2 tablespoons buttermilk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 500°. In a bowl, sift the flour with the baking powder, sugar, baking soda and salt. Work the butter or lard in until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the buttermilk and stir until the dough forms a ball.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and fold it over onto itself 10 times. Pat the dough out to an 8-inch square. Using a 2 1/2-inch round cutter, stamp out 12 biscuits; reroll the scraps and stamp out more biscuits.
  • Arrange the biscuits on a baking sheet and bake in the center of the oven for 8 minutes, or until golden. Serve hot.

These biscuits were a little dry for my taste. I think I would add a little more butter or milk next time.

I've tried many biscuit recipes, but this one is my favorite. The biscuits are always light and fluffy, and they have the perfect amount of buttermilk flavor.

I'm not a big fan of buttermilk, but I really enjoyed these biscuits. The flavor was subtle and not overpowering.
