Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 cups self-rising flour (plus more for dusting)
2 tablespoons baking powder ((see blog post above for more details; use double-acting, aluminum-free baking powder))
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 pound (3 sticks) SALTED butter (cold, cut into 1/2-inch cubes)
2 large eggs (beaten PLUS 1 large egg for brushing)
1 1/2 cups buttermilk (plus more as needed and for brushing)

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and baking soda.
  • Add the butter and using a pastry blender, cut the butter into the flour until pea-like crumbs form.
  • Stir in the beaten eggs with a wooden spoon until just combined. Then pour in the buttermilk until the dough comes together into a sticky mass. You may need more buttermilk if it's still too dry and there is flour still at the bottom of your bowl. I ended up having to add in 1/2 cup more. DO NOT add 1/2 cup more all at the same time. Do 1 tablespoon at a time until the right consistency is reached.
  • Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • When ready, preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Dust a little flour onto your work surface then put the dough onto the work surface and use your hands (flour them) to press into a round, roughly 14 inch diameter and 1/2 inch thick. See photos in the blog post.
  • Use a floured 2 3/4-inch round biscuit cutter to cut out about 20 biscuits. Reform the scraps of dough into a circle again to cut more.
  • Transfer biscuits to prepared baking sheet and arrange them so they are touching each other. See photos in the blog post.
  • In a small dish, beat together remaining egg and buttermilk then brush on top of the biscuits.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
  • Let cool slightly before devouring! They're best eaten out of the oven, day of.
  • Serve with your favorite sausage gravy, jam, or clotted cream.
