Directions: |
Directions:Preheat oven to 450º F. Sift together the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. Cube the butter 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 1c. cold buttermilk, just until the crumbs are thoroughly moistened. Add up to ¼ c. additional buttermilk, if needed. The dough shouldn't be overly wet but, slightly sticky. Roll or pat out onto a lightly floured surface about ¾-1 inch thick. Cut into rounds using a 20inch cookie cutter dipped in flour. Do not twist the dough with cutter. Cut the dough, then lift the cookie cutter up. Place biscuits 2 inches apart on a baking sheet. (I used a large cast iron skillet). Brush the tops with melted butter. Bake at 450º for 13-15 minutes until lightly golden and puffed. Brush with melted butter after removing from the pan. Serve immediately. |
