Buttermilk Biscuits like Grandma Used to Make
In this age of frozen meals and processed foods, it’s rare to get the quality cuisine of days gone by. But buttermilk biscuits like your Grandma used to make are not as much trouble as you might think.
Last week, we learned how to make homemade butter. One of the by-products of the homemade butter is non-cultured buttermilk. This is ideal for making scrumptious biscuits – the kind you might remember from your childhood. Try this easy recipe:
Buttermilk Biscuits
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
(Plus more to dust the board)
¼ teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup non-cultured buttermilk
Preheat oven to 450 degrees
Combine dry ingredients in a bowl
Cut butter into chunks
Add butter to flour to make mixture like coarse meal
Add buttermilk and mix til thoroughly combined
Add more milk if needed for desired consistency
Turn out on floured board
Pat dough gently out to ½ inch thick
Fold dough 5 times
Press dough out to 1 inch thick
Use round cutter to cut biscuits
Place on cookie sheet (1 inch apart for crusty biscuits
Touching for soft biscuits)
Bake 10-12 minutes until golden brown on top
Serve hot with homemade butter
Sit back, enjoy, and think of fond memories of Grandma!
