Buttermilk Biscuits

Course - Side Dishes :: Serves - 10

The secret to making tender, flaky buttermilk biscuits is to use very cold butter and buttermilk. The less you work the dough, the better your biscuits will be. Here is a pro tip - add a pat of butter to the top of each biscuit before they go into the oven. You will have a beautiful, brown crust.

Ingredients

2 Cups All-Purpose Flour

1/4 Teaspoon Baking Soda

1 Tablespoon Baking Powder

1 Teaspoon Salt

6 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter (Chilled)

3/4 Cup Buttermilk

Directions

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
In the bowl of a food processor, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Add butter and pulse until a cornmeal-like mixture is formed. Slowly pour in the buttermilk a little at a time and pulse until just combined.
Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and pat into 1/2-inch thickness. Fold the dough over for about 5 times and press into the 1-inch thickness. With a biscuit cutter or drinking glass, cut biscuits.
On a sheet pan lined with silpat or parchment paper, arrange biscuits 2 inches apart and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until tops are golden brown.
