Buttermilk Biscuits
Soup sometimes needs a little something alongside. That's why I love to mix up these simple buttermilk biscuits each time I serve soup. My family won't let me forget to do it!
Servings: 12 biscuits
Ingredients
- 3 cups unbleached flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 stick cold butter
- 1-¼ cup buttermilk, milk, or sour milk To make sour milk add 2 teaspoons of white vinegar to cup of milk and let set 1-2 minutes.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400
- In a medium mixing bowl, mix flour, salt, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda with a wooden spoon.
- Cut in 1 stick very cold butter with a pastry cutter until butter is pea-size. (you could also use a fork)
- Add buttermilk and stir in with a wooden spoon until combined.
- Place dough on a lightly floured surface and pat out. Fold the dough in half several times to create layers. Press out until it's about an inch and a half high.
- Using a circular biscuit cutter or juice glass cut out 12-15 biscuits.
- Place on an un-greased cookie sheet.
- Bake 15-17 minutes or until lightly brown.
