Buttermilk Biscuits With Cranberries image

Light and tender biscuits. The key is to sift the the dry ingredients FOUR times. The dough should be manageable but sticky; a wetter dough makes a lighter biscuit.

Time 10m

Yield 16-18 biscuits, 16-18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons double-acting baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup vegetable shortening, cut into small pieces
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup dried cranberries, soaked in boiling water for 5 minutes and patted dry

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F.
  • Into a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt. Sift together 4 times.
  • Blend in the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the buttermilk and cranberries, and stir the mixture gently until it forms a sticky dough.
  • With floured hands, transfer the dough to a well-floured surface and knead it lightly 8 times. Pat out dough 1/2-inch thick; cut out biscuits with a floured 2-inch round cutter.
  • Arrange the biscuits upside down on a greased baking sheet. (The biscuit cutter pinches the edges together when they are being cut out, so turning the biscuits over after cutting allows them to rise higher.) The biscuits should touch each other.
  • Bake the biscuits in the middle of the oven for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Serve warm.

These biscuits are a bit dense for my taste. I prefer a lighter, fluffier biscuit.

These biscuits are a great way to use up leftover cranberries. I always have a bag of cranberries in my freezer and these biscuits are the perfect way to use them up.

I'm not a big fan of cranberries, but I still enjoyed these biscuits. The biscuit itself is so good that it makes up for the tartness of the cranberries.

The cranberries were a bit too tart for my taste, but that's just a personal preference. I think dried cherries or raisins would also be a great addition.

These biscuits are a delightful treat! The cranberries add a pop of tartness that perfectly complements the fluffy, buttery biscuit.
