Carolina's Buttermilk Biscuits image

This recipe is from an old friend, Carolina, who makes a fabulous biscuit. This is different than my other recipe for buttermilk biscuits because it has the addition of an egg. It has a different taste and texture, but it is equally as good.

Yield 10 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 cups white lily all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons double-acting baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
3/4 cup butter, cold
1 extra large egg, slightly beaten
3/4 cup buttermilk

Steps:

  • Sift dry ingredients together.
  • With a pastry blender, cut cold butter into dry ingredients until mixture resembles very coarse breadcrumbs (sort of like fresh bread crumbs).
  • Stir buttermilk into beaten egg and add mixture to flour mixture.
  • Stir quickly, until dough forms a soft ball.
  • Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead 5 or 6 times.
  • Let dough rest for a minute, then roll out to 1/2 inch thickness.
  • Cut out biscuits using a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter.
  • Place biscuits, 1 inch apart, on baking sheet that has been sprayed with Pam.
  • Bake at 400°F for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown.
