Buttermilk Biscuits Recipe
Description
This Buttermilk Biscuits Recipe uses cold cubed butter cut into self-rising flour to create a crumbly texture essential to flakiness. Buttermilk is stirred in just until the dough is moistened, avoiding overworking. The dough is turned out and kneaded lightly 3 to 4 times, then pat-rolled to a thickness of about ¾ inch before cutting into 2½-inch rounds.
Placed on a greased baking sheet, the biscuits bake at 425°F until golden brown in approximately 10 to 12 minutes. After baking, brushing melted butter on top enriches the flavor and provides a soft, shiny crust. The biscuits are best served warm to enjoy their light, tender crumb and flaky exterior.
