BUTTERMILK BISCUITS - SOUTHERN
This recipe comes from "Baking" by Dorie Greenspan, a fabulous book. I have been doing a lot of research on flour and for biscuits the consensus is use White Lily flour. Unfortunately, it's not easy to find in the PNW, so here is a great compromise, cake and unbleached flour. Dorie also suggests using you hands to quickly incorporate the butter into the flour, the butter should end up coated and NOT uniform in size. The dough can be made, wrapped air-tight and frozen for up to 2 months. If you like a crisper edge, do not let the baking biscuits touch. If you like a softer edge on the biscuit, place the biscuits on the baking tray touching each other.

- In the bowl, give the dough 3- 4 kneads to bring the dough together.
