I wanted to share my recipe for buttermilk biscuits that are light and fluffy. I've tried many different recipes and find these are the best.
Ingredients:
2 c. all purpose flour
1 rounded Tbs. baking powder
2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/3 c. shortening (cold)
1 c. buttermilk
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Put 2 Tbs. shortening in pan in oven to get hot.
In a large bowl, add flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Notice my rounded Tbs of baking powder.
Next add shortening.
Next cut in shortening using a pastry cutter.
Cut in shortening using a pastry cutter until resembles small peas.
Create a center well and pour in buttermilk and gently fold together until almost combined.
Pour onto a floured surface.
Fold biscuit mixture over onto itself gently about 4-6 times until mixture is smooth to roll out. Roll out to 1 inch thick and cut with biscuit cutter( I used a corn can, makes just the right size biscuits.
Then place in hot skillet , laying each biscuit in hot shortening and turning over (to coat each side)
Bake at 450 degrees for 15 minutes.
Remove from oven. Melt 1 Tbs. butter and brush onto bisuit tops and place back in oven for 3 minutes, this will crisp the tops to perfection.
Next open one up and put on jam or your favorite topping , (today ours was gravy) and Enjoy!!!
