Certainly! Here’s a simple recipe for making butter buttermilk biscuits:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
- 3/4 cup buttermilk (plus extra for brushing)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt.
- Add the cold butter cubes to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. The butter should be evenly distributed.
- Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the buttermilk. Stir until just combined. The dough will be shaggy.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it a few times until it comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
- Pat the dough into a rectangle about 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick.
- Use a round biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits from the dough. Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each.
- Gently re-roll the scraps and cut out additional biscuits.
- Brush the tops of the biscuits with a little buttermilk to help them brown.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
These butter buttermilk biscuits are delicious on their own or served with butter, jam, or gravy. Enjoy!
