Heaven to me is homemade jam on a homemade biscuit. Seriously. If you haven’t tried it then you are really missing out. Anyway, I used to be intimidated by making biscuits from scratch just because I figured they would turn out like hard rocks, until I found this recipe from Homestead Blessings. It’s fast and easy, but it does make a bit of a mess since you’re working with your hands and rolling the dough out. I’ve learned a few tricks over the years and so today I’m going to share with you the way I make homemade buttermilk biscuits.
Homemade Buttermilk Biscuits
2 c. white flour
2 c. wheat flour (I use Prairie Gold)
8 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
2 sticks butter, softened (approx.)
1 1/4 c. buttermilk (or 1 1/4 c. milk + 1 tbsp vinegar) (approx.)
Rolling Pin
Biscuit cutter (or anything round that you can cut dough with)
Mixing Bowl
Greased Baking Pan
Step 1: Pre heat oven to 400 and gather all ingredients.
Step 2: Wash hands and remove all rings and bracelets. Clean countertop.
*If using buttermilk substitute then mix together and set aside
Step 3: Mix dry ingredients in medium size mixing bowl.
Step 4: Sprinkle counter and rolling-pin with flour.
Step 5: Add butter in chunks and mix with hands until it is soft and crumbly.
Step 6: Add milk and mix with hands until soft dough forms.
Step 7: Roll out on floured surface to approx. 1/2 – 1 inch thick.
Step 8: Cut dough with biscuit cutter and place in greased baking pan. (You will want them to be pressed close against each other.)
Step 9: Form remaining dough into a ball. Roll out and cut. Repeat until all dough is used.
Step 10: Bake at 400 degrees for 18 minutes or until tops are lightly browned.
Homemade biscuits really are no comparison to store bought. I hope you will try this recipe and let me know if you have any questions!
