Miss Phyllis' Homemade Buttermilk Biscuits

Miss Phyllis’ Homemade Buttermilk Biscuits

Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:
1) 4 cups self rising flour
2) 1 heaping teaspoon of baking powder
3) 8 Tablespoons salted butter (1 stick)
4) 1 Tablespoon of vegetable shortening (or nonstick spray)
5) 2 cups of whole buttermilk

Steps:
(preheat oven to 450 degrees)
1) Mix flour and baking powder into a medium sized mixing bowl
2) Incorporate 6 tablespoons of butter into flour mixture until there are no large butter pieces. Set 2 tablespoons aside for later.
- Tip: Set butter aside 20 minutes at room temperature to soften
3) Pour 2 cups of buttermilk into flour/butter mixture and mix together until no dry flour mixture remains
- Tip: Don't overmix/overhandle dough or biscuits may turn out dense
4) Turn out biscuit dough on lightly floured surface and lightly flour top
5) Press out dough until ½ inch thick
- Tip: Don’t “over work” the dough; again, it’ll make the biscuits dense
6) Cut out biscuits to desired size
7) Grease cookie sheet or skillet with shortening or nonstick spray
- Tip: Put into the oven 5 minutes before putting biscuits on--bottoms will be a little crispier
8) Place biscuits on cooking surface and place in 450 degree oven
9) Check biscuits at 15-20 minutes. Brush tops with melted 2 tablespoons of butter set aside earlier.
10) Cook until tops of biscuits are golden brown (approximately 10 more minutes).
