Sure! Here’s a recipe for Butter Buttermilk Biscuits:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- Extra melted butter for brushing (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Add the cold cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Make sure to work quickly to keep the butter cold.
- Pour in the buttermilk and stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until the dough starts to come together. It will be slightly sticky.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Gently knead the dough a few times until it becomes smoother. Be careful not to overwork the dough, as this can make the biscuits tough.
- Roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch (1.3 cm) thickness. You can use a rolling pin or simply press the dough down with your hands.
- Use a round biscuit cutter or a drinking glass to cut out biscuits from the dough. Press straight down without twisting the cutter to ensure the biscuits rise evenly. Place the cut biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each biscuit.
- Gather the remaining dough scraps, gently knead them together, and roll out again to cut more biscuits. Repeat this process until all the dough is used.
- Optional: Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter to enhance browning and flavor.
- Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until they are golden brown on top.
- Once baked, remove the biscuits from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool slightly.
- Serve the butter buttermilk biscuits warm. They can be enjoyed plain, with butter, jam, or as a side for breakfast, brunch, or dinner.
