Buttermilk Biscuits

I've tried several biscuit recipes & this is my favorite! I tweaked the recipe a bit when I make it. I always use 1 cup of buttermilk. When I tried 3/4 cup the dough was always too dry & didn't stay together. Also, I mix this in my kitchenaid stand mixer & it turns out fine so you don't have to mix by hand if you don't want to.

Ingredients

  1. 2 cupSelf rising flour
  2. 1 cupShortening (I use Crisco)
  3. 1 cupButtermilk
  4. 1/2 stickButter
  5. 1Pizza cutter

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 500°F.

  2. 2

    Using your fingers, work the shortening in with the flour in a large bowl until the flour appears crumbly, about the size of little peas.

  3. 3

    Stir in the buttermilk with a wooden spoon. Start with 3/4 cup and add a little more if need be.

  4. 4

    Lightly dust your countertop with flour.

  5. 5

    Pat the dough down into a neat rectangle. Using a pizza cutter, slice the biscuits into 8 or 10 squares.

  6. 6

    Place the biscuits into a greased cast iron pan or if you don't have one, a round cake pan or casserole dish will do, with the sides of the biscuits just touching.

  7. 7

    Melt 3 tablespoons of butter and pour that on top of the biscuits. Bake for about 12 minutes, or until lightly browned.

  8. 8

    Melt a couple more tablespoons of butter and brush that on top of the freshly baked biscuits. Enjoy!
