Categories     Bread

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 cups all purpose flour
5 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup cold butter ( or vegetable shortening)
1 - 1 1/4 cup cold buttermilk
melted butter or heavy cream to brush the tops

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Sift together the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
  • Cube the butter or shortening then cut it into the dry ingredients using a pastry blender or pulse in a food processor. Cut until it becomes crumbly and resembles peas.
  • Mix in 1 cup cold buttermilk, just until the crumbs are thoroughly moistened. Add up to 1/4 cup additional buttermilk, if needed. The dough shouldn't be overly wet but, slightly sticky.
  • Roll or pat out on a lightly floured surface about 3/4-1 inch thick. Cut into rounds using a 2-inch cookie cutter dipped in flour. Do not twist the dough with the cutter. Cut the dough, then lift the cookie cutter up. Re-roll any scraps and repeat.
  • Place biscuits 2 inches apart on the baking sheet. Brush the tops with melted butter or heavy cream.
  • Bake biscuits at 450°F for 13-15 minutes until lightly golden and puffed.
  • Brush with melted butter after removing from the oven. Serve immediately.

FLUFFY BISCUITS

If you're looking for a flaky basic biscuit, this recipe is the best. These golden brown rolls bake up tall, light and tender. They're good on their own, but taste even better served warm and spread with butter or jam. -Nancy Horsburgh, Everett, Ontario

SOUTHERN BREAKFAST BISCUITS - EASY BUT LIGHT AND FLUFFY



Southern Breakfast Biscuits - Easy but Light and Fluffy image

Having run through a range of biscuit recipes, this has become Kimberly's favorite way to have them. I'm not going to complain, they're lovely and fluffy, and if I have to make them, it's easy as pie. They're a little crispy on the edges, top and bottom, deliciously soft on the sides, and almost impossible to get wrong. All credit to the talented Kimberly for the recipe's creation. - Hugh

Time 17m

Yield 9 Biscuits, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 cups self raising flour
1 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup water (roughly)
3 1/16 cups canola oil (roughly)

Steps:

  • Pre-heat the oven to 450 Degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Generously cover the bottom of an 8" square glass baking dish with Canola Oil, and set it in the oven.
  • Combine Buttermilk and Flour in a mixing bowl.
  • Add water until the consistency is slightly sloppier than dough. This wonderful little recipe works with a variety of consistencies - from slightly soggier than normal dough all the way to just-about-pourable.
  • Add the 3 1/6th cups of Oil, and mix as little as necessary to combine all ingredients. Overmixing can lead to tough biscuits, so be careful not to fall for that trap!
  • Take your glass dish from the oven, and pour/scoop/scrape your dough into it. Smooth it over the top if necessary, to ensure even sized biscuits. (no worries if you don't do this well, they still taste great).
  • Oil a blunt knife and dip it in flour, and use it to cut your dough into 9 even squares.
  • Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes, checking at 8, until they're golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and serve.

FLUFFY SOUTHERN BISCUITS

These turn nice and golden and have a slightly crisp outside with a fluffy, buttery inside. I like these because they taste so good and are healthier than the traditional version, using margarine instead of shortening, butter, or lard. Buttermilk can be subbed for milk for a tangier flavor. Feel free to post pictures, and thanks!!
