Homemade Buttermilk Biscuits

There are not many things more southern than a good old fashioned from scratch buttermilk biscuit. Not many things as tasty either! Fear not, they are so easy and quick to make. Once you've made homemade biscuits, you may never go back to canned or frozen! 

  I typically don't keep buttermilk on hand, but it's so easy to make on your own and I have always had good results in my baking as well has homemade dressings and marinades. All you do is add 1 Tablespoon of vinegar for every 1 Cup of milk. Let it sit a little bit before you use it. Works every time!  

 

 

 

Homemade Buttermilk Biscuits
Ingredients:

3 Cups Flour

4 Tsp Baking Powder
1 Tsp Salt

1 Tbsp Sugar

3/4 Tsp Cream of Tartar

1/2 Cup Butter

1/4 Cup Shortening

1 1/4 Cup Buttermilk 

Directions:

Mix together flour, baking powder, salt, sugar and cream of tartar in a large bowl. Cut in butter and shortening with a pastry blender or potato masher (works well!). Make a well in the center of the mix and add in your buttermilk. Stir to combine until just moistened.

Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead 3-5 times or until dough comes together. Be sure to not overwork. Flatten out to 3/4" and cut with a floured biscuit cutter.

Place on an ungreased sheet or stone 1" apart. Bake at 450º for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Serve immediately.
