MAMA'S STARTED IN TEXAS BUTTERMILK BISCUITS



Mama's Started in Texas Buttermilk Biscuits image

I have been making these biscuits for years and love the almost creamy texture. They always remind me of the time when I was quite young and was cramped on time. I grabbed some bisquick and snuck some of those onto the table. My in laws being ever so gracious declared them the best they ever ate (thinking I needed encouragement!)

Time 22m

Yield 12 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup shortening
3/4 cup buttermilk

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 450°.
  • Mix the dry ingredients in medium size bowl. Cut in the shortning until it looks like little peas.
  • Stir in the buttermilk and plop it onto a floured surface. Work in just enough flour to pat the dough into a circle about 1/2 inch thick.
  • Take a drinking glass about 3-inches across and cut out your biscuits. Leftover dough is easy to roll back out to sqeeze out a couple more!
  • Place on cookie sheet about 1-inch apart and bake for 10-12 minutes until the crust is just brown (Don't overcook!).
  • *Note: If a baking recipe calls for butermilk I always use real buttermilk- it certainly does affect the texture. In a pich, use buttermilk powder or even milk.
  • Serve warm- we don't even bother with butter but it is your choice. Makes great leftovers if heated in the microwave for 10-15 seconds and topped with jam.

Time 20m

Yield 8 LARGE, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups flour (if using self rising flour,omit baking powder and soda)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup vegetable shortening
1 cup buttermilk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F.
  • Mix together well: Flour baking powder,salt, and soda.
  • Add shortening with fork, pastry cutter or fingers.
  • Add milk and blend till velvety smooth.
  • Roll out on lightly floured board and cut 1/4" (or shape a nice little biscuit with your hands).
  • Brush tops with milk (optional).
  • Bake about 10 minutes, till golden brown.

Tips:

  • Use a pastry cutter or two forks to cut the butter into the flour mixture. This will create small, pea-sized pieces of butter that will melt and create flaky layers in the biscuits.
  • Do not overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make the biscuits tough.
  • Roll out the dough to a thickness of 1/2 inch. If the dough is too thick, the biscuits will be dense.
  • Cut the biscuits with a sharp biscuit cutter. A dull biscuit cutter will tear the dough and make the biscuits uneven.
  • Place the biscuits close together on a baking sheet. This will help them rise evenly.
  • Bake the biscuits in a preheated oven at 450°F for 10-12 minutes. The biscuits are done when they are golden brown on top.

Texas buttermilk biscuits are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or snack. They are perfect for any occasion, and they are sure to be a hit with your family and friends. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy these delicious biscuits right at home.
