Time 40m

Yield about 8 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more, for dusting
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon fine salt
7 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, sliced
3/4 cup buttermilk, plus more, for brushing

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
  • Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt together in a medium bowl. Rub 2 tablespoons of the cold butter into the flour with your fingertips until completely absorbed. Work the remaining 5 tablespoons of cold butter into the flour with your fingertips until pea-sized bits of butter remain. Use a rubber spatula to stir the buttermilk into the flour until the mixture comes together into a shaggy dough.
  • Dust a cutting board or work surface with flour and turn the dough out onto it. Pat the dough into a 1/2-inch thick rectangle. Fold dough in thirds, like a letter, and then pat into a 3/4-inch thick rectangle. Cut biscuits out using a 2 1/2-inch round biscuit cutter and put on the prepared baking sheet. Press together the remaining scraps of dough and cut out more biscuits. Brush the biscuit tops with buttermilk.
  • Bake until the tops are lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Cool on the pan at least 5 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

8 tablespoons ice cold butter
3/4 cup buttermilk

THE BEST FLAKY BUTTERMILK BISCUITS



The Best Flaky Buttermilk Biscuits image

We tried several versions of this recipe, including one with double the amount of baking powder. And while the biscuits turned out puffy and beautiful, they ultimately were too dry. So, we tweaked the baking powder amount along with the butter and buttermilk and arrived at these beauties -flaky, golden, tender and moist, just as biscuits should be.

Time 35m

Yield 12 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting (see Cook's Note)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon fine salt
10 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
3/4 cup buttermilk, plus more for brushing

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt in a medium bowl. Rub 2 tablespoons of the cold butter into the flour with your fingertips until completely absorbed. Work the remaining 8 tablespoons of cold butter into the flour with your fingertips until pea-size bits of butter remain. Use a rubber spatula to stir the buttermilk into the flour until the mixture comes together into a shaggy dough. (Don't overmix the dough.)
  • Lightly flour a cutting board or work surface, turn the dough out onto it and pat into a rectangle. Fold the dough in half and pat again into a 1/2-inch-thick rectangle. Then fold the dough in thirds, as if folding a letter, and pat to an even thickness. Cut out biscuits with a 2 1/2-inch round biscuit cutter and put on the prepared baking sheet. Press together the remaining scraps of dough. Pat out and fold the dough into thirds again and cut out more biscuits. Brush the biscuit tops with buttermilk.
  • Bake until the tops are lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Cool on the pan at least 5 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

BUTTERMILK BISCUITS



Buttermilk Biscuits image

This mouthwatering buttermilk biscuit recipe comes from "Martha Stewart's Baking Handbook."

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes     Bread Recipes

Yield Makes 1 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, cold, cut into small pieces
1 3/4 cups buttermilk, plus more for brushing

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Using a pastry blender, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with a few large clumps remaining.
  • Pour in the buttermilk; using a rubber spatula, fold buttermilk into the dough, working in all directions and incorporating crumbs at the bottom of the bowl, until the dough just comes together. The dough will be slightly sticky; do not overmix.
  • Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured work surface. With floured fingers, gently pat the dough into a round about 1 inch thick, pressing in any loose bits. Do not overwork the dough. Use a floured 2 1/4-inch round biscuit cutter to cut out the biscuits as close together as possible. (Use one cut edge as the edge for the next biscuit.)
  • Place the biscuits about 1 1/2 inches apart on an unlined baking sheet. Generously brush the tops of biscuits with buttermilk. Bake, rotating sheet halfway through, until the biscuits are golden and flecked with brown spots, 18 to 20 minutes. Transfer biscuits to a wire rack to cool.

Tips:

  • Use cold butter and buttermilk. This will help to create flaky biscuits.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the biscuits tough.
  • Roll out the dough to a thickness of 1/2 inch. This will help to ensure that the biscuits are cooked evenly.
  • Bake the biscuits in a hot oven. This will help to create a golden brown crust.
  • Serve the biscuits warm with butter, honey, or jam.

Conclusion:

Buttermilk biscuits are a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect buttermilk biscuits every time.
