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.

Yield Makes about 15

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for work surface
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
2 cups buttermilk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a Silpat (French nonstick baking mat) or parchment paper; set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
  • Transfer about 2 1/2 cups flour mixture to a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Add butter, and pulse until the largest pieces are the size of peas. Return butter mixture to the bowl with the flour mixture. Use your fingers to combine.
  • Add buttermilk, and stir just until mixture comes together; the batter will be sticky. Transfer to lightly floured work surface; use floured fingers to pat dough to 1-inch thickness. Use a 2 1/2-inch round biscuit cutter or cookie cutter to cut biscuits as close together as possible to minimize scraps. Gather scraps together once, pat together and flatten, and cut out.
  • Transfer biscuits to prepared baking sheet; bake until lightly browned, 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from oven; cool on a wire rack. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Use cold butter: This will help to create flaky biscuits. If you don't have time to chill the butter, you can freeze it for 15 minutes before using.
  • Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make the biscuits tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together.
  • Roll out the dough to the correct thickness: The dough should be rolled out to a thickness of 1/2-inch. If the dough is too thin, the biscuits will be dry. If the dough is too thick, the biscuits will be doughy.
  • Cut the biscuits with a sharp cutter: This will help to create clean-cut biscuits. If you don't have a biscuit cutter, you can use a sharp knife.
  • Bake the biscuits at a high temperature: This will help to create golden brown biscuits. Bake the biscuits at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes.

Conclusion:

Martha Stewart's buttermilk biscuits are a delicious and classic Southern dish. They are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make these biscuits at home. Follow these tips to make sure your biscuits turn out perfect every time.
