Best Buttermilk Biscuits
dealstomeals.blogspot.com/
Ingredients:
1 cup buttermilk (or 1 c. milk + 2 T. lemon juice)
9 1/2 ounces flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons softened butter
2 tablespoons shortening
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
In a bowl mix the milk and lemon juice until curdled and creates a buttermilk mixture, this takes 2-3 minutes.
In a separate bowl mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt until well blended.
Add the butter and shortening into the flour mixture and using your hands mix until it becomes crumbly.
Once you have mixed the butter, shortening and flour mixture well slowly mix in the buttermilk mixture.
Using a fork mix it well.
Do not worry this dough will be VERY sticky.
Pour out one cup of flour onto your counter.
Pour the sticky dough mixture onto the flour.
Sprinkle some flour on top of the sticky dough.
Gently pat out and fold the dough over itself.
Do this three or four times.
Each time add a little more flour onto and under the dough so you are able to touch it without sticking to it.
Patting down and folding the dough will create flakiness and layers.
Once you have done this three or four times pat it out into a 1 inch round.
Take a medium sized cup and cut out nine biscuits.
Place in a greased 8x8 and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
Once the biscuits are removed from the oven spread melted butter over the top.
They are delicious, especially with honey and butter.
