Homemade Buttermilk Biscuits



Prep time:  10 minutes
Cooking time:  25 minutes

If you have the time to make homemade biscuits, here is a recipe that sounds really good to me (although I haven’t actually tried it yet myself).  And, I actually took what I thought to be the best of 3 different recipes and combined them.  If you do try this before me, please let me know how it turns out...   :)

Ingredients:  (makes 8 ~ 9 biscuits)
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 cup vegetable shortening, cold, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 1/2 to 2 cups buttermilk, plus additional for brushing

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Sift together the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.  Cut in the shortening using a pastry blender or your hands or a stand mixer fixed with a dough hook until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.  Make a well in the center and add 1 cup buttermilk.  Using your hands, quickly fold the dry ingredients into the buttermilk until a sticky dough forms.  You may need to add more buttermilk.

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface.  Gently fold the dough over itself 3 or 4 times to create layers.  Press the dough out to 1 1/2-inches thick and cut with a floured 3-inch biscuit cutter.  Lay the biscuits on an ungreased cookie sheet and brush the tops with buttermilk.  

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until risen and golden brown.
