FLAKY BUTTERMILK BISCUITS

Steps:

• Brush softened butter on a sheet pan.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and baking soda. Set aside.
• In a large glass measuring cup measure the buttermilk. Add the shortening. With an immersion blender on high, blend the shortening into the buttermilk until smooth.
• Using a box grater, grate the cold butter into the flour. Toss until all of the pieces are coated. Lightly pinch the butter pieces into the flour.
• Lightly coat your work surface with nonstick cooking spray, then flour. (The spray keeps the flour in place.) Add the buttermilk/shortening mixture to the flour/butter mixture. Gently mix the dough with a rubber spatula until there are no dry bits of flour left. The dough should be slightly sticky.
• Transfer dough to the prepared work surface. Lightly coat your hands with flour and gently press the dough with the palms of your hands to form it into a smooth flat rectangle, 1/2-inch thick. Sprinkle the dough with flour, then fold it into thirds (like a letter). Pat the dough out again, sprinkle with a little flour, and fold it into thirds again. Turn the dough 90 degrees (this time folding in the open ends first.) Repeat one more time. Dough should no longer be sticky.
• With a floured 2- or 2 1/2- inch biscuit cutter, cut out dough rounds. Flip the rounds over so that the smooth sides that were against the work surface face up and place on the prepared pan, 1-inch apart. Stack the scraps and press and cut again. Refrigerate until cold, about 15 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Bake until the tops are golden brown and crisp, about 16 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes before serving hot.

EASY BUTTERMILK PIE

Steps:

• Place a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 350°. If using 1 disk of Our Favorite Pie Dough, roll out on a lightly floured surface to a 14" round. Transfer to a 9"-diameter pie dish, then lift edges and allow dough to slump down into dish. Trim dough, leaving about 1" overhang. Fold overhang under and crimp edges. Prick bottom all over with a fork. Freeze 15 minutes.
• Line crust or one 9"-diameter store-bought pie crust with 2 sheets of parchment paper or foil, leaving overhang, and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Place pie dish on a rimmed baking sheet and bake crust until dry around the edges, 20-25 minutes for homemade and 15-20 minutes for store-bought. Remove parchment and pie weights. Continue to bake crust until surface looks dry and is golden in spots, 10-15 minutes for homemade and about 5 minutes for store-bought. Transfer pie dish to a wire rack and let crust cool slightly while you make the filling.
• Whisk 1 cup sugar, 3 Tbsp. all-purpose flour, and ½ tsp. Diamond Crystal or ¼ tsp. Morton kosher salt in a large bowl to combine. Add 3 large eggs, room temperature, 1½ cups buttermilk, room temperature, 4 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted, slightly cooled, 1 Tbsp. finely grated lemon zest, 1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice, and 1 tsp. vanilla bean paste or 1½ tsp. vanilla extract and mix well.
• Pour filling into blind-baked crust and gently tap on counter to evenly distribute. Depending on the height of your crust, you may have some filling left over. Bake pie until crust is golden brown and filling is just set and golden, 60-70 minutes. Turn off oven, prop door open, and let pie sit in oven 15 minutes. Transfer pie to a wire rack and let cool completely. Do ahead: Pie can be baked 3 days ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before serving.
