Knott's Berry Farm Buttermilk Biscuits
Description
These biscuits use a combination of baking powder and baking soda activated by buttermilk for leavening. The shortening blends into the flour to create a tender, flaky texture. After kneading gently, the dough is cut into uniform rounds and each biscuit is dipped in vegetable oil, which helps develop a golden color and soft exterior during baking.
Baked at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for 8-12 minutes, the biscuits develop a light golden crust while maintaining a moist and soft crumb inside. Serving warm with butter or jam enhances their buttery flavor.
The biscuits can be enjoyed during breakfast or as a side for meals, especially with fruit preserves like Knott's Berry Farm boysenberry for a traditional pairing.
These biscuits are best served warm. Using a covered pan or reheating briefly helps retain moisture without drying. Preparation is straightforward though handling the dough gently maintains tenderness.
Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon shortening
- 1 cup buttermilk + 2 Tablespoons
- ⅛ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- butter for serving (see note, or jam
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees and grease a 2 inch deep 9x13-inch baking pan.
- In a medium bowl whisk flour, baking powder, and salt. Add shortening and mix well. (You can use a hand mixer for this or you can transfer to a food processor to blend in the shortening.)
- Add baking soda to buttermilk. Pour into flour mixture and blend well.
- Transfer dough to a well-floured surface. Sprinkle dough with flour and knead a few times but do not over work the dough.
- Roll dough out 1/2 inch thick. Use a 2-inch round cookie cutter to cut dough into as many circles as possible. (You could also use a jar lid or drinking glass to cut circles).
- Dip the biscuits in the vegetable oil being sure to coat all sides, and place side by side in baking pan. (They should be touching each other).
- Bake for 8-12 minutes or until golden brown. Serve hot with butter and jam.
Notes
- Using Knott's Berry Farm boysenberry preserves adds a classic finishing touch to these buttermilk biscuits.
- Biscuits are best served hot to enjoy their tender, buttery texture.
