FLUFFY SOUTHERN BUTTERMILK BISCUITS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Sift together the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
- Cube the butter or shortening then cut it into the dry ingredients using a pastry blender or pulse in a food processor. Cut until it becomes crumbly and resembles peas.
- Mix in 1 cup cold buttermilk, just until the crumbs are thoroughly moistened. Add up to 1/4 cup additional buttermilk, if needed. The dough shouldn't be overly wet but, slightly sticky.
- Roll or pat out on a lightly floured surface about 3/4-1 inch thick. Cut into rounds using a 2-inch cookie cutter dipped in flour. Do not twist the dough with the cutter. Cut the dough, then lift the cookie cutter up. Re-roll any scraps and repeat.
- Place biscuits 2 inches apart on the baking sheet. Brush the tops with melted butter or heavy cream.
- Bake biscuits at 450°F for 13-15 minutes until lightly golden and puffed.
- Brush with melted butter after removing from the oven. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and 3 tablespoons of the sugar.
- In a small bowl, combine the warm water with the yeast and the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar; stir until the yeast is dissolved. Let stand until bubbles appear, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Using your hands, mix the 1 cup cold butter into the flour, breaking the butter into small pebbles, until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Make a well in the center and add the buttermilk and the yeast mixture. Gently fold the flour into the wet ingredients. Keep mixing until a ball starts to form, then gently knead, 12 to 15 times, to create a smooth dough. Cover with a cloth or plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for approximately 1 hour.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface and press out to 1- to 1 1/2-inches thick. Fold the dough in half, press again to 1- to 1 1/2-inches thick, and then fold again. Cut the dough using a 2- to 3-inch round biscuit cutter, depending personal preference. Brush the bottom of a cast-iron skillet with some of the melted butter. Place the biscuits in the skillet; brush the tops with melted butter.
- Bake until golden brown, 18 to 22 minutes, depending on size. Brush again with melted butter and serve immediately.
SOUTHERN STYLE BISCUITS
Many cooks claim to have the real "Southern" style biscuit recipe, but growing up this is how my mom from Alabama fixed her biscuits. I now make them the same way and my family won't have it any other way. They're even better with sausage gravy. The real secret is using White Lily flour and cold Crisco shortening.

Tips for Making Perfect Southern Biscuits in a Bread Machine:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will yield the best-tasting biscuits. Look for all-purpose flour, buttermilk, and butter that are fresh and have a good flavor.
- Follow the recipe carefully: Bread machines have different settings and capacities, so it's important to follow the recipe that came with your machine. This will ensure that your biscuits are cooked properly.
- Don't overcrowd the bread machine: Be sure to leave enough space in the bread machine for the biscuits to rise. If you overcrowd the machine, the biscuits will not cook evenly.
- Don't open the bread machine while it's cooking: Opening the bread machine while it's cooking will let the heat escape and prevent the biscuits from rising properly.
- Let the biscuits cool before serving: Once the biscuits are cooked, let them cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help them to set and maintain their shape.
Conclusion:
Using a bread machine to make Southern biscuits is a quick and easy way to enjoy this classic Southern comfort food. By following these tips, you can make sure that your biscuits turn out perfect every time. Serve them warm with your favorite gravy, butter, or jam for a delicious and satisfying meal. Enjoy!
