My favorite all time recipe I make this every week, buttery flakey EASY buttermilk biscuits! Also great for breakfast and as a sandwich with egg
Ingredients
1/2 Cup butter, plus 2 tbs melted to brush on the tops if you want
1 cup buttermilk
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
Preparation
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees
2. Cut 1/2 cup (1 stick) of butter and put it in the fridge (or freezer) and measure out 1 cup buttermilk and put that in the fridge, melt 2 tbsp additional butter in a small bowl or ramekin, set aside
3. In a large bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt, whisk
4. Cut in the cold butter until it looks like cornmeal
5. Pour in the buttermilk and knead dough with your fingers until it all comes together, then pat dough out onto a lightly floured surface until it’s about 1/2 to 1 inch thick
6. Cut with biscuit cutter or glass cup
7. Place biscuits on a parchment paper lined baking sheet close together and brush with 2 tbsp melted butter
8. Put baking sheet with biscuits in the oven and bake until golden brown or 10-15 minutes, then remove from oven and cool on a baking rack or cutting board
