Homemade Buttermilk Biscuits
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.
How to Make Homemade Buttermilk Biscuits:
Preheat oven to 400 and gather all ingredients.
Wash hands and remove all rings and bracelets. Clean countertop.
*If using buttermilk substitute then mix together and set aside
Mix dry ingredients in medium size mixing bowl.
Sprinkle counter and rolling-pin with flour.
Add butter in chunks and mix with hands until it is soft and crumbly.
Add milk and mix with hands until soft dough forms.
Roll out on floured surface to approx. 1/2 – 1 inch thick.
Cut dough with biscuit cutter and place in greased baking pan. (You will want them to be pressed close against each other.)
Form remaining dough into a ball. Roll out and cut. Repeat until all dough is used.
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!
