HIGH-RISE BUTTERMILK BISCUITS

This recipe comes from chats with friends and many weekend mornings of making biscuits. Pay close attention to technique -- it is certainly as important as the ingredients -- and you'll surely make a moist, airy, tasty biscuit with good rise. Important: Use fresh, aluminum-free baking powder; this is less salty than regular baking powder and allows you to add more without affecting taste.

Time 54m

Yield 9

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 cups cake flour
2 ½ tablespoons aluminum-free baking powder
2 teaspoons salt
½ cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small chunks
1 ⅓ cups buttermilk, or more as needed
1 tablespoon salted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).
  • Mix flour, baking powder, and salt together in the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment. Add unsalted butter and mix at medium speed until well incorporated and the mixture resembles wet sand, about 4 minutes.
  • Remove the bowl from the mixer and fold in buttermilk until dough sticks together.
  • Dump dough onto a flour work surface; pat into a rectangle. Pat remaining dry crumbs into the mixture by hand.
  • Cut dough in half with a floured bench knife; stack cut halves on top of each other. Press layers together to about 1 1/2-inch thickness, shaping a long rectangle as you go. Repeat 3 to 5 times.
  • Cut dough into 8 even squares with the bench knife. Cut off uneven edges and put these scraps to the side; clean cuts on all sides will encourage rise. Pat scraps together to make 1 odd-shaped ninth biscuit.
  • Place biscuits close together in a 9-inch square pan and brush with melted salted butter. Place pan on top of the warm stove for 10 to 15 minutes to rise.
  • Bake biscuits in the preheated oven, checking halfway through bake time, until tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 14 to 18 minutes.

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 cups cake flour
2 1/2 tablespoons aluminum-free baking powder
2 teaspoons salt
1 1/3 cups (or more as needed) buttermilk
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small chunks
1 tablespoon salted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).
  • Mix flour, baking powder, and salt together in the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment. Add unsalted butter and mix at medium speed until well incorporated and the mixture resembles wet sand, about 4 minutes.
  • Remove the bowl from the mixer and fold in buttermilk until dough sticks together. (Add up to 1/4 cup extra buttermilk if mixture is not sticking together.)
  • Dump dough onto a flour work surface and pat into a rectangle. Pat remaining dry crumbs into the mixture by hand.
  • Cut dough in half with a floured bench knife. Stack cut halves on top of each other. Press layers together to about 1 1/2-inch thickness, shaping a long rectangle as you go. Repeat 3 to 5 times.
  • Cut dough into 8 even squares with the bench knife. Cut off uneven edges and put these scraps to the side (clean cuts on all sides will encourage rise). Pat scraps together to make 1 odd-shaped ninth biscuit.
  • Place biscuits close together in a 9-inch square pan and brush with melted salted butter. Place pan on top of the warm stove for 10 to 15 minutes to rise.
  • Bake biscuits in the preheated oven, checking halfway through bake time, until tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 14 to 18 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use cold butter for the biscuits. This will help them rise higher and be more flaky.
  • Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make the biscuits tough.
  • Let the biscuits rest for at least 10 minutes before baking. This will help them rise evenly.
  • Bake the biscuits in a hot oven. This will help them rise quickly and evenly.
  • Don't overbake the biscuits. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Serve the biscuits warm with your favorite toppings, such as butter, honey, or jam.

Conclusion:

High-rise buttermilk biscuits are a delicious and versatile breakfast food. They can be served with a variety of toppings, such as butter, honey, or jam.
