Best Soft Fluffy Buttermilk Biscuits Recipes

SOFT, FLUFFY BUTTERMILK BISCUITS

Steps:

• 1. Combine dry ingredients in a medium bowl.
• 2. Grate frozen butter over the dry ingredients working very quickly so the butter stays as cold as possible. Toss butter into the dry ingredients with a fork making sure no large clumps of butter remain.
• 3. Add 1 cup of the buttermilk and stir in with fork adding more buttermilk as needed to make a moist dough.
• 4. Turn dough onto a well floured board and knead as little as possible to make a smooth dough. Pat out dough to 1/2-1 inch thick. Cut with biscuit cutter and add to well buttered 9x13 inch pan making sure the sides of the biscuits touch. Re-roll dough and cut more until all dough is used. The last little bit I usually pat into 2 small biscuits for the corners of the pan.
• 5. Bake in a preheated 450* oven for 12 min. Turn pan around and bake another 6 minutes. Brush tops with butter as soon as they come out of the oven.

SOFT AND FLUFFY BUTTERMILK BISCUITS

Steps:

• 1. In a large bowl, combine all the dry ingredients, flour, sugar, salt and baking powder.
• 2. Add the shortening and butter, cut into flour with a Pastry Cutter or two forks until the mixture resembles small peas.
• 3. Beat the egg and add the buttermilk to the flour at the same time, Combine just until well mixed, do not overwork.
• 4. Roll out the dough to about 1" thick, cut biscuits into rounds Place on cookie sheet or skillet brushed with Crisco. Brush tops of biscuits with butter before baking.(Tip: Sometimes I pat the dough out into a big square and cut them with a knife or pizza cutter, I cut the dough into a square shape, this way you use all the dough and have no scraps, (Who said biscuits have to be round???)
• 5. Bake in a preheated oven at 450* degrees until golden brown, rotate the pan halfway through baking time to insure even browning. Mine took about 18-20 minutes to brown.
