(Experiment 51)Southern-style biscuits

Ingredients

  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 115 g butter
  • 1.5 tsp salt
  • 360 g all-purpose flour
  • 5 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda

Instructions

  • In a bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda & powder and salt.
  • Put the butter in the dry ingredients and using a pastry blender, cut it in. You can also do this step using a food processor.
  • Add almost all buttermilk to the mix and stir. You are looking for a sticky consistency. Add more buttermilk as needed
  • Lightly flour your countertop and put the dough on. Using a rolling pin, roll it down just about an inch thick. Using a cookie cutter or a glass or even your hands, shape up some pieces and line them in a baking tray with parchment paper. Repeat with all the dough. You can ball up and roll down again the leftover dough.
  • Note: Do not place them too close to each other or they will merge together
  • Bake at 450F for about 12 minutes or until lightly coloured

Notes

Optionally but highly recommend brushing them with some melted butter before serving
