The only scratch-made biscuit recipe you'll ever need. Moist and tender in the middle, flaky and golden on the outside. They reheat perfectly, as if fresh made, and are a perfect compliment to gravy, honey butter, or scratch-made jam. You will not be disappointed! |
Ingredients: |
|
2 Cups |
|
All-Purpose Flour, plus more for dusting |
|
2 tsp |
|
baking powder |
|
1/4 tsp |
|
baking soda |
|
1 tsp |
|
coarse salt |
|
1/2 Cup |
|
cold butter, cut into small pieces |
|
1/2 Cup |
|
buttermilk, plus more for brushing |
|
1/2 Cup |
|
heavy cream |
Directions: |
|
Preheat oven to 375. Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Cut in butter using a pastry blender or hands until mixture resembles coarse meal. A good rule is when all large blobs of butter are gone. Add buttermilk and cream and stir to combine.
Turn out dough on floured surface and pat into a 6 1/2 inch round (about i inch high.) Using a floured 2 1/2 cutter, cut out rounds. Transfer to a parchment paper lined baking sheet or a baking stone. Gather scraps, reshape, and continue to cut out till dough is gone. Brush tops with buttermilk. Bake until tops are golden, 22 to 24 minutes.
Reheats well in a toaster oven or regular oven. Just keep the heat low and watch to make sure it doesn't burn.
