MELT IN YOUR MOUTH HEAVENLY BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 475 degrees F.
• Spray an 8 inch round cake pan with cooking spray.
• Combine next 6 ingredients in a medium bowl.
• Cut in shortening or lard.
• Stir in buttermilk and cream.
• (mixture will be VERY WET!) Let stand 2-3 minutes.
• Pour remaining cup of flour into another bowl.
• Flour your hands.
• Drop a biscuit size lump of dough into the flour. I use a half cup measuring cup for this step. The "dough" is too wet to really pick up with your hands.
• Cover with more flour.
• Gently pick up lump of dough with your hands by sliding your fingers underneath it then lightly toss from hand to hand to remove excess flour and to roughly shape the biscuits. You are just basically coating the very wet dough with flour. Be gentle!
• Drop into prepared pan.
• Repeat with remaining dough, placing tightly into pan.
• This is so they rise up instead of just spreading out.
• Brush with melted butter or margarine.
• Bake 15-20 minutes or until lightly browned.
• Let cool in pan a few minutes, then dump pan out and gently separate biscuits.
• Serve ASAP!

HOMEMADE BUTTERMILK BISCUITS

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 425F/220C. Line a baking sheet and set aside.
• In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Cut the butter into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter or a fork till it resembles coarse crumbs.
• Add the buttermilk and use a spatula to combine till a rough dough forms.
• Turn the dough out on a floured work bench and pat it into a rectangle. Fold the rectangle into thirds.
• Give it a half turn, pat it back into a rectangle, fold it into thirds and repeat this once more.
• Roll the dough out into 1/2 inch thickness. Cut 10-12 biscuits. While cutting the biscuits, don't rotate the cookie cutter.
• Transfer the biscuits onto the lined baking sheet. Brush with buttermilk and bake for 15 minutes till the top is golden brown. Serve warm.

MELT-IN-YOUR-MOUTH HOMEMADE BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450°F
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a bowl, add the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk to combine.
• Cut the butter into small cubes and put it into the flour mixture. With a pastry blender (or two forks) press the butter down to incorporate the butter into the flour. Work it in gently until the butter is mostly pea-size or smaller. The faster you do this step, the better. You want the butter to stay cold. (Note: this step can be done in a food processor instead)
• Gently add the buttermilk and stir just until combined. DO NOT OVERMIX. Dough will be slightly sticky.
• Dust a flat surface with a little more flour, dump out the dough and with a floured rolling pin, roll dough to 3/4 inch tall. Use a biscuit cutter, or the top of a glass cup to push straight down into the dough. Try to get about 5 or 6 biscuits cut, then gently put the scraps together (again being careful not to overwork the dough) and cut another 2-4 biscuits with the remaining dough.
• Put biscuits 2 inches apart on the baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake until barely golden, 10-13 minutes. Do not overcook.
