Buttermilk Biscuit
Soft and flaky, full of flavor and so easy to make. I do know now why people bake.
Ingredients
- 3½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon salt
- ½ pound butter unsalted
- 4 egg
- 1½ cup buttermilk
- egg optional - 1 egg beaten with milk, wash
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt in a large bowl.
- Add butter and combine well until the mixture has the appearance of coarse meal.
- Combine the eggs and buttermilk by whisking until well blended. Add to the flour mixture tossing to combine.
- Roll out the dough on a lightly flour work surface to a thickness of 1 inch and using a 2-inch diameter cutter, cut out the biscuit. Dip the cutter in flour if the dough is sticky.
- Place the biscuits on the prepared pan and lightly brush egg wash. Bake at 425F until golden about 15 to 17n minutes
