Steps:
- Freeze your butter. This recipe requires COLD butter. To ensure that it's nice and cold, just place a stick of butter in the freezer at least 20 minutes before you plan to make the biscuits. If you're planning ahead you can place the butter in the freezer earlier.
- Preheat oven to 425℉. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and set aside.
- Mix dry ingredients. Stir together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Mix with a fork to make sure the ingredients are well combined.
- Grate the butter. If the butter is too cold to grate from leaving in the freezer for a long time, just let it sit out for a couple minutes to warm slightly then grate. We want the butter as cold as possible. I find it best to leave the wrapper on one end to hold the stick while I grate, this helps prevent the butter from softening too much while in my hands.
- Mix butter with the dry ingredients. Use your hands for this. Be gentle
- Add the cream. Gently combine the dough together. I still use my hands for this. Messy. Yes. But again, biscuit making comes down mostly to the method.
- Sprinkle clean work surface with a small amount of flour to prevent the dough from sticking, remove the dough from the bowl and place on the work surface. When you remove the dough from the bowl it will be crumbly, it's ok. Just keep pressing the dough together gently and press it out with your fingertips into a rectangular shape about 12 inches by 6 inches, and 3/4 of an inch thick.
- Fold the dough over. Add sprinkles of flour as needed to your work surface or the dough if it's too sticky. Continue doing this until you have folded the dough over 4-5 times. This is called laminating, and creates the layers in the biscuits.
- Cut biscuits out. I use a 2.5 inch biscuit cutter, you can use any size you prefer. This is the set that I use (affiliate link) Place the cut out biscuits on a parchment lined baking sheet.
- With the remaining dough, you can make additional biscuits. I typically have to press out my dough twice. Getting the dough to about a 3/4 of an inch thickness I can cut out 6 biscuits. To make the next batch, gently knead the dough back together. Then start the laminating process over again (folding the dough) then cut the remaining 6 biscuits. During this time keep the already cut biscuits in the fridge to stay cold.
- Brush with cream. Use the additional 1 tablespoon of cream to brush onto the tops of the biscuits.
- Bake. Bake between 13-15 minutes. Keep an eye on them, when the tops are golden brown to your preference then remove them. Once they start browning it goes quick. So keep an eye on them.
- Brush with melted butter. Serve. After baking, brush with some melted butter, and eat up! These biscuits are best when served warm and out of the oven.

TRADITIONAL SOUTHERN BISCUITS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Mix well. Add 1 tablespoon of the cold butter and the cold shortening and work it into the dry ingredients, using your hands, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the milk. The dough will be sticky. Dust your work surface with some flour. Turn the dough onto the floured surface. Gently fold each side toward the center. Pick up the dough and dust the work surface with additional flour. Return the dough to the floured surface and fold each side towards the center again. Turn the dough over and press it out to 1-inch thickness. Cut the biscuits, straight down, do not twist the cutter, with a 2 1/4-inch round cookie cutter. Melt the remaining tablespoon of butter and add to a 10-inch round cake pan. Place the biscuits in the pan, turning once (to coat both sides with butter), about 1/4-inch apart. Let the biscuits rest for 15 minutes before baking. Bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
SOUTHERN BUTTERMILK BISCUITS
These buttermilk biscuits are authentic. This recipe came from my great-great-grandmother, and was handed down to all the women in my family, and we are all Southern. I am the first one to commit the sin of using a food processor (lol) but I find it works very well. I would put these biscuits up against anyone's - they are perfect in every single way. I hope you all enjoy them.

Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 450°F.
- Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl, or in the bowl of a food processor.
- Cut the butter into chunks and cut into the flour until it resembles course meal.
- If using a food processor, just pulse a few times until this consistency is achieved.
- Add the buttermilk and mix JUST until combined.
- If it appears on the dry side, add a bit more buttermilk. It should be very wet.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured board.
- Gently, gently PAT (do NOT roll with a rolling pin) the dough out until it's about 1/2" thick. Fold the dough about 5 times, gently press the dough down to a 1 inch thick.
- Use a round cutter to cut into rounds.
- You can gently knead the scraps together and make a few more, but they will not be anywhere near as good as the first ones.
- Place the biscuits on a cookie sheet- if you like soft sides, put them touching each other.
- If you like"crusty" sides, put them about 1 inch apart- these will not rise as high as the biscuits put close together.
- Bake for about 10-12 minutes- the biscuits will be a beautiful light golden brown on top and bottom.
- Do not overbake.
- Note: The key to real biscuits is not in the ingredients, but in the handling of the dough.
- The dough must be handled as little as possible or you will have tough biscuits.
- I have found that a food processor produces superior biscuits, because the ingredients stay colder and there's less chance of overmixing.
- You also must pat the dough out with your hands, lightly.
- Rolling with a rolling pin is a guaranteed way to overstimulate the gluten, resulting in a tougher biscuit.
- Note 2: You can make these biscuits, cut them, put them on cookie sheets and freeze them for up to a month.
- When you want fresh biscuits, simply place them frozen on the cookie sheet and bake at 450°F for about 20 minutes.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Using your fingertips, rub butter and shortening into dry ingredients until mixture looks like crumbs. (The faster the better, you don't want the fats to melt.) Make a well in the center and pour in the chilled buttermilk. Stir just until the dough comes together. The dough will be very sticky.
- Turn dough onto floured surface, dust top with flour and gently fold dough over on itself 5 or 6 times. Press into a 1-inch thick round. Cut out biscuits with a 2-inch cutter, being sure to push straight down through the dough. Place biscuits on baking sheet so that they just touch. Reform scrap dough, working it as little as possible and continue cutting. (Biscuits from the second pass will not be quite as light as those from the first, but hey, that's life.)
- Bake until biscuits are tall and light gold on top, 15 to 20 minutes.

Steps:
- Mix flour and shortening in a mixing bowl.
- Using a pastry blender or a fork, cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add buttermilk and stir.
- Start out with a little and add more as you need.
- The dough should be wet and gummy.
- THEN, sprinkle a little flour on top and work it in with your hands.
- Then flip the dough and do the same on the other side. Continue to do this until the dough isn't sticky on the outside, it doesn't take much.
- Then flour your hands and take a small amount of dough and roll it into a ball, then place on a greased cookie sheet or baking pan and flatten slightly into a biscuit shape. When you've finished with the dough, b ake the biscuits in a 400 degree oven for about 10 minutes, just until they start to brown, then take them out and preheat the broiler, and then stick the biscuits back in until they are brown.
- You can brush them with melted butter if you like. This may take some practice, but after a few times you will know what the consistency of the dough should feel like. I hope this works for you.
