Old-Fashioned Buttermilk Biscuits image

Southerners know their biscuits and we loved these. These homemade buttermilk biscuits are the easiest we've ever made. They are very light and fluffy, almost air-like. As they're baking, the smell is amazing. A big smear of butter and these are melt in your mouth good. Top with your favorite jam. Sausage gravy wouldn't be too...

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 c all-purpose flour
1 Tbsp baking powder
2 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 c buttermilk
1/3 c shortening (the buttermilk makes them very moist)

Steps:

  • 1. Mix in dry ingredients.
  • 2. Cut in shortening.
  • 3. Add buttermilk a little at a time stirring as you go. Stir until it clings together.
  • 4. Knead gently 25 to 30 times.
  • 5. Roll out to a 1/2 inch.
  • 6. Cut biscuits to desired size. (I sometimes make them very large using my Blue Metal Coffee Cup for camping as my cutter.)
  • 7. Place on an ungreased sheet.
  • 8. Bake for 15 minutes at 450 degrees until brown.
  • 9. These are best used within a few days. Keep refrigerated. Makes nice breakfast sandwiches with fried bacon/sausage, eggs, and cheese!
