When I think of a southern meal or table, one of my first thoughts is where are the buttermilk biscuits. I mean, you can’t tell me a warm, buttery, fluffy biscuit can’t make any meal, a better meal! I’ve been making these biscuits for years and I swear they just get better and better and better.
Buttermilk Biscuits
A southern staple, these fluffy, buttery and oh so delicious biscuits will become your family favorite!
Ingredients
- 12 Tbsp butter melted
- 1 cup buttermilk I use this dried buttermilk and it is amazing, will last for months refrigerated.
- 2 ¼ cups All-purpose Flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp sugar
Instructions
- Pre-Heat oven to 425°F. Add a tsp of butter to bottom of a cast iron skillet and pre-heat in oven for 4 mins. Alternative: Line a sheet pan with parchment paper
- Mix together 1 cup of buttermilk and place in the freezer for 5-10 minutes while preparing all ingredients.
- Place butter in a bowl, cover and heat in microwave until melted. Set aside to cool a bit while prepping other ingredients.
- Stir flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar in large bowl
- Remove chilled buttermilk from freezer. Pour 9 tbsp of the melted butter into the chilled buttermilk. Whisk with a fork until small clumps form throughout buttermilk. Save the rest of melted butter for topping the hot biscuits.
- Add the buttermilk and butter mixture to dry ingredients and stir with a spatula until the flour is fully incorporated and batter forms into a ball. The dough will be slightly sticky to touch.
- Generously flour counter top. Dump dough onto counter top and turn to liberally coat all surfaces with flour. Knead for one minute- folding the dough into itself. Pat and shape into a large circle. It should be about 1½ inches in height.
- Using a 2 ½-inch biscuit cutter, cut biscuits and place into hot cast iron pan. Use all dough scraps. I use dough until the last small amount and form that into the "drop" biscuit that goes into the center of the cast iron. (Biscuits can touch each other)
- Bake until tops are golden brown and crisp, start checking at 10 minutes. Last remaining minute turn the broiler on to get that perfectly golden brown top.
- Once biscuits come out of oven, pour the remainder melted butter over top. Serve hot with honey, gravy, jelly or whatever your heart desires ❤️
