Recipe type: Biscuits
Serves: 10-12
Ingredients
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1½ tablespoons sugar
  • ½ cup very cold butter
  • ¾ cup very cold buttermilk
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 450
  2. In a large bowl mix together all of the dry ingredients
  3. Cut butter into ¼" pats and use pastry cutter to mix into dry ingredients
  4. It is important not to warm the mixture with your hands - you don't want the butter to start to soften and melt
  5. When you see pea size balls form, it is time to add the buttermilk
  6. Add buttermilk all at once and mix together to form a big dough ball
  7. Again, try not to work the dough too much with your hands
  8. If you have a marble pastry board it helps to keep the dough cold - turn out the ball of dough onto the board
  9. Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough to about an 8" x 14" piece
  10. Cut the the piece into 3 even pieces and stack them up on top of each other
  11. Roll out dough gently to about 6" x 10" piece keeping the layers as much as possible
  12. The dough layers and the cold butter help keep the biscuits light and fluffy and rise in the oven
  13. It is important not to overwork the dough
  14. Take a 2" biscuit cutter and cut 10 biscuits - you may want to stretch them up a bit to help them grow higher in the oven
  15. if you can piece together the scraps of dough in layers they will make some less pretty but still good tasting biscuits
  16. Cook the biscuits for 10-12 minutes until golden brown on top
