Bill's Buttermilk Biscuits
by Deaconbill
I found this recipe while in North Carolina. It is definitely a good southern biscuit.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 tablespoons Sugar
- 4 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 cup All purpose flour
- 1/2 cup Butter ; chilled cut into small cubes
- 2/3 cup Buttermilk ; add 1 egg to to buttermilk to equal 2/3 cup ....beat egg
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 450 or 425 convection bake. Combine and mix dry ingredients together in bowl. Add butter to flour mixture and coat with flour. Pinch cubes between fingers in flour until it is a course meal or pea size clumps.
Whisk egg and buttermilk together until blended. Add egg and buttermilk mixture to dry ingredients and mix until all the flour is absorbed by the dough. Turn out unto floured counter or cutting board and knead no more than 2 or 3 times to absorb the remaining flour to make a smooth light dough. Do not over handle dough or the biscuits will be tough. Dough should be slightly sticky.
Dust board with flour and turn dough to coat with flour. Pat dough to 1/2” thickness and cut biscuits. Place on cookie sheet and bake 8-12 minutes tops should be brown.
Optional you can brush tops with cream and also pepper tops if desired.
You can freeze biscuits to bake later. Place frozen biscuit on sheet pan and bake at 425 for 15 minutes or 400 convection bake for 15 minutes. Bake until tops are brown.
