Yield 12 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 12

vegetable cooking spray
DOUGH:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon double-acting baking powder
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
4 tablespoons unsalted butter -- cold, cut into 1/4" cubes
1 1/2 cup buttermilk
TO FORM AND FINISH BISCUITS:
1 cup all-purpose flour -- distributed in rimmed baking sheet
2 tablespoons unsalted butter -- melted

Steps:

  • Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 500°F. Spray 9" round cake pan with cooking spray; set aside. Generously spray inside and outside of 1/4 cup dry measure with cooking spray. For the dough: In food processor, pulse flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and baking soda to combine, about 6-1 second pulses. Scatter butter cubes evenly over dry ingredients; pulse until mixture resembles pebbly, coarse cornmeal, 8-10 1 second pulses. Transfer mixture to medium bowl. Add buttermilk to dry ingredients and stir with rubber spatula until just incorporated (dough will be very wet and slightly lumpy.) To form and bake biscuits: Using 1/4 cup dry measure and working quickly, scoop level amount of dough; drop dough from measuring cup into flour on baking sheet (if dough sticks to cup, use small spoon to pull it free). Repeat with remaining dough, forming 12 evenly sized mounds. Dust tops of each piece of dough with flour from baking sheet. With floured hands, gently pick up piece of dough and coat with flour; gently shape dough into round ball, shake off excess flour, and place in prepared cake pan. Repeat with remaining dough, arranging rounds around perimeter of cake pan and 3 in center. Brush rounds with hot melted butter, taking care not to flatten them. Bake 5 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 450°F.; continue to bake until biscuits are deep golden brown, about 15 minutes longer. Cool in pan 2 minutes, then invert biscuits from pan onto clean kitchen towel; turn biscuits right-side up and break apart. Cool 5 minutes longer and break apart.

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 1/4 cups unbleached flour, plus extra from kneading
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
4 Tablespoon butter or margarine, frozen or very cold
1/2 cup club soda or carbonated soda

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Whisk dry ingredients together. Grate frozen butter or cut very cold butter, into small pieces. Incorporate butter into dry mixture with a pastry blender or a fork. Stir in club soda and buttermilk just until dry ingredients are moistened. The dough will be soft, airy and look like a sponge. Turn onto a floured surface. Knead 7 to 10 times, adding as little flour as needed. Cut into desired size, place on an ungreased baking sheet and bake 8-12 minutes. Take out of oven and brush with melted butter if desired.
