Buttermilk Biscuits
Description
Buttermilk Biscuits use a combination of leavening agents including baking powder and baking soda alongside kosher salt and flour to build a flaky but tender biscuit. Cold, cubed butter is pulsed in with the dry ingredients, then combined with cold buttermilk to form a dough. The dough undergoes repeated rolling and folding to develop layers contributing to the flaky texture upon baking.
Cut into 3-inch rounds and spaced on a parchment-lined baking sheet, the biscuits are brushed with buttermilk on top which promotes a nicely browned crust during the 15-17 minute bake at 425 degrees. Their classic flavor and texture make them a versatile accompaniment for breakfast with jam or savory dishes like gravy or roasted meats.
The dough is best handled gently to maintain butter integrity for flakiness. Biscuits are best served warm, fresh out of the oven.
Ingredients
- 2 1/8 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 cup butter cubed (even better if frozen, unsalted
- 3/4 cup buttermilk plus a bit more for brushing, cold
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees and line your baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add the dry ingredients to a food processor and pulse two to three times until combined.
- Add in the butter and buttermilk and pulse until combined.
- Put the mixture onto a floured surface and pat into a ball then roll it out 1/2 inch thick.
- Fold dough over on one side, then the other so you have three layers. Roll it out gently, then fold it over three ways and roll gently again. Repeat folding once more and roll it out.
- Using a 3 inch cutter stamp out 10 biscuits.
- Place the biscuits on a cookie sheet, brush with remaining buttermilk and bake for 15-17 minutes.
