HOW TO MAKE BUTTERMILK BISCUITS

Homemade Biscuits with tall, buttery and flaky layers.  Just when you thought they were too hard to make. We show you how simple and delicious they really are.

–Self Rising Flour –Cold, cubed Butter – Salt – Buttermilk – Sugar (optional)

INGREDIENTS

Preheat oven to 475 degrees Fahrenheit. In a large bowl, mix your Flour with the salt and sugar. I sift mine together using a whisk! Add the butter and cut in with a pastry cutter or two knives. Cut in the butter until it resembles small peas.

STEP 1

Add in the buttermilk slowly just until the dough starts to form but is still kind of straggly.

STEP 2

Turn out on a floured board or surface and press together into a ball.

STEP 3

Roll it out in a rectangle and fold it in on itself. I repeat the rectangle and fold two more times. This technique is similar to making a pie crust. It makes the flaky layers we all love in the biscuit, without working the dough too much.

STEP 4

The final roll, I roll to about ¼ to ½ inch thick and cut with a biscuit cutter.

STEP 5

Take each biscuit and to form the pretty little dimples on the top, I pat the sides with my thumb and middle finger while gently patting the top with my pointer.

STEP 6

Place in a lightly greased Cast Iron Skillet leaving a little space between each.Spray the tops with cooking spray and place in a preheated 475 degree oven for 10-15 minutes until the tops are brown.

STEP 6

Enjoy!
