Soft, Fluffy Buttermilk Biscuits image

My grandmother used to make the best biscuits and I have been on a quest to recreate them since she passed away. I think I finally did it!!

Categories     Biscuits

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 1/2 c self rising flour
2 1/2 tsp sugar
1/8 tsp salt
1 stick butter, frozen
1-1 1/2 c buttermilk

Steps:

  • 1. Combine dry ingredients in a medium bowl.
  • 2. Grate frozen butter over the dry ingredients working very quickly so the butter stays as cold as possible. Toss butter into the dry ingredients with a fork making sure no large clumps of butter remain.
  • 3. Add 1 cup of the buttermilk and stir in with fork adding more buttermilk as needed to make a moist dough.
  • 4. Turn dough onto a well floured board and knead as little as possible to make a smooth dough. Pat out dough to 1/2-1 inch thick. Cut with biscuit cutter and add to well buttered 9x13 inch pan making sure the sides of the biscuits touch. Re-roll dough and cut more until all dough is used. The last little bit I usually pat into 2 small biscuits for the corners of the pan.
  • 5. Bake in a preheated 450* oven for 12 min. Turn pan around and bake another 6 minutes. Brush tops with butter as soon as they come out of the oven.
