Tender, Flaky, Buttermilk Biscuits image

The kids were hinting for me to make some biscuits...I hadn't made this particular recipe in years, but remembered how tender and flaky they were...and they didn't let me down...serve them hot out of the oven...once buttered of course... Enjoy!

Categories     Biscuits

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/2 c unbleached flour
1 1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 Tbsp sugar
1/2 c cold butter
1 c cold buttermilk
extra butter for brushing biscuits

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 485 degree F. Sift the dry ingredients in a medium bowl.
  • 2. Slice the butter into pats and with fingers, rub the butter into the flour, until you have pieces the size of large and small peas.
  • 3. Stir the buttermilk into the flour with a fork, just until the dough starts to come together. Using your hands, start kneading the dough to incorporate all of the flour. If the dough is not sticky, add more milk.
  • 4. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and fold over itself 2 or 3 times ( this is what makes the layers.) Just fold and push 3 times. With your hands, pat out dough to 3/4 inch thickness. Cut out dough using a 3 inch biscuit cutter - DO NOT TWIST THE CUTTER! Twisting will seal sides, and keep biscuits from rising correctly.
  • 5. Place biscuits on a greased baking sheet or cake pan, so they almost touch. Brush tops with buttermilk or melted butter.
  • 6. Bake for 10 - 12 minutes or until desired brownness occurs. I turn the pan half way through baking time.
  • 7. Brush the biscuits when taken from the oven and serve them hot. Enjoy with honey, butter, jam or gravy!

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my biscuits came out flat and dense. They were also a bit greasy.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my biscuits didn't turn out flaky at all. They were more like hockey pucks.

These biscuits were a bit too dense for my liking. I prefer a lighter, flakier biscuit.

These biscuits were a bit dry for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try adding a little more butter next time.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a huge fan of buttermilk, but I'm so glad I did! The buttermilk flavor was subtle, and the biscuits were so light and fluffy. I'll definitely be making these again.
