Buttermilk Biscuits

Buttermilk Biscuits

Total time: 30 mins.

Level:   Easy

Yield:   18-20 Biscuits

Ingredients

2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting the board

1 tbsp. Baking powder

½ tsp. Baking soda

1 tsp. Salt

6 tbsp. Butter

1 cup Buttermilk (approx.)

1 tbsp. Sugar

1 tbsp. Garlic powder

For brushing on top

1tbsp. Butter

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 450°F.

Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl

Grate the cold butter into the flour mixture.

Gently mix the flour until it resembles course meal.

Add the buttermilk and mix just until combined.

If it appears on the dry side, add a bit more buttermilk. It should be very wet.

Turn the dough out onto a floured board.

Gently, gently PAT (do NOT roll with a rolling pin) the dough out until it's about 1/2" thick. Fold the dough about 5 times; gently press the dough down to a 1-inch thick.

Use a round cutter to cut into rounds.

Place the biscuits on a cookie sheet- put them about 1 inch apart- these will not raise as high as the biscuits put close together.

Bake for about 10-12 minutes the biscuits will be a beautiful light golden brown on top and bottom.

Brush generously with melted butter as soon as they come out of the oven.

Serve hot.
