Time 1h

Yield 4 large biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3 tablespoons vegetable shortening
5 tablespoons cold, unsalted butter, cubed
1 cup buttermilk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Combine 2 cups of the flour with the baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Cut in the shortening and 3 tablespoons of the butter until the mixture is the size of small peas.
  • Add the buttermilk, and stir until the dough is just mixed and starts to form a ball.
  • Rest the dough in the refrigerator for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Sprinkle a work surface with flour. Transfer the dough to the floured surface, and sprinkle with a little extra flour. Knead the dough 3 to 4 times. Do not overwork the dough. It will make the dough tough and difficult to work with.
  • Flatten the dough into a 3/4- to 1-inch-thick disk with a rolling pin. Cut out biscuits with a large 4- or 5-inch biscuit cutter.
  • Bake the biscuits until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
  • Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Brush the hot biscuits with the butter. Turn on the broiler. Broil the biscuits until desired brownness.

These biscuits are delicious! I love the crispy crust and the soft, fluffy interior. They're perfect for any occasion.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my biscuits turned out flat and hard. I'm going to try again soon, and I'll be sure to follow the recipe more carefully this time.

These biscuits are the perfect size for a quick breakfast or snack. They're also great for sandwiches and sliders. I've even used them to make mini pizzas.

I love the rustic look of these biscuits. They're not perfectly round or shaped, but that just adds to their charm. They're also very easy to make, which is a big plus in my book.

These biscuits were just okay. They weren't bad, but they weren't anything special either. I think I would have preferred them if they had been a little more fluffy.

I was disappointed with these biscuits. They were dry and crumbly, and they didn't have much flavor. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

These biscuits were a bit too dense for my taste. I think I may have overmixed the dough. However, the flavor was still good, and they were a nice addition to my breakfast.

I've tried many biscuit recipes over the years, but this one is by far my favorite. The biscuits are always light and fluffy, and they have a wonderful golden brown crust. I highly recommend this recipe to anyone who loves a good homemade biscuit.

The Cathead Biscuits were a hit with my family! My kids loved the soft and fluffy texture, and my husband raved about the delicious flavor. We will definitely be making these biscuits again soon.

I was pleasantly surprised by how easy these biscuits were to make. I'm not an experienced baker, but I was able to follow the instructions without any trouble. The biscuits turned out perfectly golden brown and had a wonderful aroma.

These Cathead Biscuits were a delightful addition to my breakfast spread! The texture was fluffy and tender, and the flavor was savory and slightly tangy. They paired perfectly with butter, honey, and a cup of hot coffee.
