Categories     Bread     Bake

Yield 12 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 12

vegetable cooking spray
DOUGH:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon double-acting baking powder
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
4 tablespoons unsalted butter -- cold, cut into 1/4" cubes
1 1/2 cup buttermilk
TO FORM AND FINISH BISCUITS:
1 cup all-purpose flour -- distributed in rimmed baking sheet
2 tablespoons unsalted butter -- melted

Steps:

  • Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 500°F. Spray 9" round cake pan with cooking spray; set aside. Generously spray inside and outside of 1/4 cup dry measure with cooking spray. For the dough: In food processor, pulse flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and baking soda to combine, about 6-1 second pulses. Scatter butter cubes evenly over dry ingredients; pulse until mixture resembles pebbly, coarse cornmeal, 8-10 1 second pulses. Transfer mixture to medium bowl. Add buttermilk to dry ingredients and stir with rubber spatula until just incorporated (dough will be very wet and slightly lumpy.) To form and bake biscuits: Using 1/4 cup dry measure and working quickly, scoop level amount of dough; drop dough from measuring cup into flour on baking sheet (if dough sticks to cup, use small spoon to pull it free). Repeat with remaining dough, forming 12 evenly sized mounds. Dust tops of each piece of dough with flour from baking sheet. With floured hands, gently pick up piece of dough and coat with flour; gently shape dough into round ball, shake off excess flour, and place in prepared cake pan. Repeat with remaining dough, arranging rounds around perimeter of cake pan and 3 in center. Brush rounds with hot melted butter, taking care not to flatten them. Bake 5 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 450°F.; continue to bake until biscuits are deep golden brown, about 15 minutes longer. Cool in pan 2 minutes, then invert biscuits from pan onto clean kitchen towel; turn biscuits right-side up and break apart. Cool 5 minutes longer and break apart.

These biscuits were a disappointment. They were dry and crumbly, and they didn't have much flavor.

I'm not a big fan of biscuits, but these were actually pretty good. They were light and fluffy, and they had a nice flavor.

These biscuits are amazing! They are so light and fluffy, and they have a perfect golden brown crust. I will definitely be making them again and again.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my biscuits turned out flat and dense. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These biscuits were just okay. They weren't as tall and fluffy as I expected, and they had a bit of a bland flavor.

I've tried a lot of biscuit recipes, but this one is by far my favorite. The biscuits are always tall and fluffy, and they have a delicious flavor that everyone loves.

These biscuits are the BEST! They are so tall and fluffy, and they taste amazing. I've made them several times now, and they always turn out perfect.
