Janessa's Buttery Biscuits
Ingredients
- 2¼ cups flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 12 Tbsp butter divided
- 1 cup buttermilk
- kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- In large bowl mix flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- Using a pastry cutter, cut in 10 Tbsp of butter. I like to use frozen butter and grate it into the flour mixture.
- Stir in buttermilk until dough is moistened. DO NOT OVERMIX!
- Turn dough onto floured surface, knead 2 to 3 times, until it holds together....again DO NOT OVERMIX. Pat down to about 1/2" thickness.
- Using a biscuit cutter or top of a drinking glass, cut biscuit rounds as closely as possible. Place on buttered cookie sheet (I like to line it with parchment paper, no greasing necessary).
- Gather scraps and press together to make more biscuits.
- Once all biscuits are made, brush with remaining 2 Tbsp of melted butter.
- Sprinkle with kosher or coarse salt.
- Chill in freezer for 10 minutes
- Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
Notes
These biscuits can be frozen prior to baking. Frozen they are good up to 1 month. When you bake add a few minutes to baking time, do not thaw first.
