Linda's Easy Buttermilk Biscuits image

Get out your stepladder because these biscuits are tall! A little pinch of cream of tartar gives them a boost. Hubby says they might be the best biscuits he has ever eaten.

Time 25m

Yield 9 biscuits, 9 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups flour
4 tablespoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons butter, diced and frozen
2 tablespoons shortening, frozen
1 cup buttermilk

Steps:

  • Put all the dry ingredients into a food processor and pulse five or six times.
  • Put frozen butter and crisco into the processor and pulse 5 times or until you get a small pea sized texture. Don't over process. (Up to this point you can freeze the mix in a baggie until you are ready to make your biscuits, up to a month.).
  • Continuing, add the buttermilk all at once and pulse three or four times, only until the dough is wet. Do not process until it is all mixed or you will get hockey pucks instead of biscuits.
  • On a floured surface, pat the dough out into a 9x9 square and cut the square with a very sharp knife into 9 square biscuits. This eliminates the need for rolling the scraps.
  • Put the biscuits onto a parchment lined baking pan so they are touching. Dust the tops with flour.
  • Preheat your oven to 450 degrees and bake for about 13 to 15 minutes.
  • Be careful when you open the oven door - they may float away.
  • NOTE: You can use any fat you like including lard, all shortening or butter but I find this combination works best for me.

I'm not sure what 'buttermilk biscuits' are. Can someone explain?

I'm allergic to buttermilk. Is there a substitute I can use?

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my biscuits didn't turn out fluffy at all. They were more like hockey pucks.

The biscuits were a little dry. I think I needed to add more buttermilk.

These biscuits are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I'm not a big fan of buttermilk biscuits, but these were actually really good. I'll definitely be making them again.

These biscuits are AMAZING! I've tried so many buttermilk biscuit recipes, but these are by far the best. They're so fluffy and flavorful, and they have the perfect amount of sweetness.
