CHEF JOHN'S BUTTERMILK BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
• Whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda together in a large bowl.
• Cut butter into flour mixture with a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, about 5 minutes.
• Make a well in the center of butter and flour mixture. Pour in 3/4 cup buttermilk; stir until just combined.
• Turn dough onto a floured work surface, pat together into a rectangle.
• Fold the rectangle in thirds. Turn dough a half turn, gather any crumbs, and flatten back into a rectangle. Repeat twice more, folding and pressing dough a total of three times.
• Roll dough on a floured surface to about 1/2 inch thick.
• Cut out 12 biscuits using a 2 1/2-inch round biscuit cutter.
• Transfer biscuits to the prepared baking sheet. Press an indent into the top of each biscuit with your thumb.
• Brush the tops of biscuits with 2 tablespoons buttermilk.
• Bake in the preheated oven until browned, about 15 minutes.

THE BEST BUTTERMILK BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a baking mat.
• In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together to combine well.
• Use a cheese grater to grate the butter into the flour mixture. Then use a pastry cutter or a fork to combine the butter and flour mixture well (you can use a fork for the whole process but using a cheese grater first works super well - I recommend it). The goal is to have pea-sized pieces of butter mixed into your flour mixture.
• Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the egg and buttermilk. Use a fork to whisk the two together and slowly bring in the flour mixture.
• Stir until the biscuits just come together, taking care not to over mix.
• Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and finish combining by lightly kneading the dough together.
• Roll the dough into a 2-inch-thick slab. Use a biscuit cutter to cut out as many biscuits as you can and place them on the prepared sheet, 1 inch apart.
• Re-roll the dough and cut more biscuits until you have used all of the dough, adding a bit of flour to your work surface and rolling pin as needed. You should end up with 9-12 biscuits.
• Bake the biscuits for 15-18 minutes until the tops are very golden brown.
• Remove from the oven and serve right away.

Steps:

• Combine dry ingredients. Then cut softened butter in dry mixture until crumbly. Mix buttermilk in. Roll out on floured cutting board til 1 inch thick. Cut and put on lightly greased baking sheet. Bake @ 400 degrees for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Brush lightly with butter.

HIGH-RISE BUTTERMILK BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).
• Mix flour, baking powder, and salt together in the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment. Add unsalted butter and mix at medium speed until well incorporated and the mixture resembles wet sand, about 4 minutes.
• Remove the bowl from the mixer and fold in buttermilk until dough sticks together.
• Dump dough onto a flour work surface; pat into a rectangle. Pat remaining dry crumbs into the mixture by hand.
• Cut dough in half with a floured bench knife; stack cut halves on top of each other. Press layers together to about 1 1/2-inch thickness, shaping a long rectangle as you go. Repeat 3 to 5 times.
• Cut dough into 8 even squares with the bench knife. Cut off uneven edges and put these scraps to the side; clean cuts on all sides will encourage rise. Pat scraps together to make 1 odd-shaped ninth biscuit.
• Place biscuits close together in a 9-inch square pan and brush with melted salted butter. Place pan on top of the warm stove for 10 to 15 minutes to rise.
• Bake biscuits in the preheated oven, checking halfway through bake time, until tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 14 to 18 minutes.

BIG, FLUFFY BUTTERMILK BISCUITS RECIPE - (4.2/5)

Steps:

• Measure the flour into a large mixing bowl, then place the bowl with the flour and the butter in the freezer for at least 15 minutes before making the biscuits. Meanwhile, prepare a floured work surface. Melt 2 tablespoons salted butter or margarine then set aside. Preheat the oven to 450°F. Place a black cast-iron skillet in the oven to preheat. (Skillet needs to be about 12-inches) Working quickly, cut the cold butter into the flour with a pastry cutter until butter is pea-size. Working in sections of the flour mixture, add a little buttermilk at a time and mix that section just until a soft dough forms. Continue mixing in sections until all the flour mixture has been incorporated, then lightly stir the sections together. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface; sprinkle top with flour and lightly pat into a 1-inch-thick circle. Using a 2 1/2 to 3-inches biscuit cutter, cut out 8 to 10 biscuits (leave them where they were cut.) Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven and add the oil or shortening. Place the biscuits in the hot skillet with sides touching. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Brush tops with melted butter and serve hot. NOTES: Instead of all butter in the biscuits, I used half stick (1/4-cup) salted butter and 1/4 cup Crisco vegetable shortening. I used lard in the biscuits in the skillet.
