Grandma Buttermilk Biscuits

 

 Buttermilk Biscuits 

At Hone this Tuesday I am baking biscuits to eat with our Soup this cold day. 

• 2 cups all purpose flour, spooned into measuring cup and leveled-off
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon baking soda
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1¼ teaspoons salt
• 10 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into ½-inch chunks
• ¾ cup buttermilk, plus a bit more if necessary

• Preheat oven  425 degrees 

• 
  

 Place the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl  and Mix.  Add the cubed butter and cut into the dry ingredients with a pastry cutter or forks  until coarse crumbs form.

a  Make a well in the center of the mixture. Pour 1 cup (240ml) buttermilk and drizzle honey on top. Fold everything together with a large spoon or rubber spatula until it begins to come together. Do not overwork the dough

1. Pour the dough and any dough crumbles onto a floured work surface and gently bring together with generously floured hands. The dough will become sticky as you bring it together.  Using floured hands or a floured rolling pin, flatten into a 3/4 inch thick rectangle as best you can.

3. Cut into 2.75 or 3-inch circles with a biscuit cutter. Place on lined baking sheet with biscuits touching. And bake for about 2o minutes or until tops are golden brown.
