CHEF JOHN'S BUTTERMILK BISCUITS
This deceptively simple recipe can come out a million different ways with some very minor variations on the ingredients and amounts. This one's my favorite - flaky, but not dry; chewy, but not tough; crisp in just the right spots.

GRANDMA'S SOUTHERN BUTTERMILK BISCUITS
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 F.
- In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda and sugar.
- Cut in butter-flavored shortening with a pastry cutter.
- Grate in butter, tossing occasionally.
- Stir in buttermilk until dough is wet and sticky.
- Generously flour a work surface.
- Turn dough out onto floured surface.
- Sprinkle a little flour on the dough and your hands and begin to gently knead and fold the dough.
- Add more flour as needed, but not too much, just enough so that the dough is manageable. Wet dough makes the best biscuits!
- Fold the dough over several times.(This will create layers.)
- Pat the dough out into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
- Dip the biscuit cutter into flour and cut out the biscuits. (do not twist the cutter)
- Place biscuits on pan, with the sides touching.
- Brush tops of biscuits with a very light coating of mayonnaise.
- Bake for 14 minutes or until tops are golden. (For a dark golden color, flip the oven to a low broil for the last 2 minutes. Be sure to keep your eyes on it at all times)
- Remove from oven and brush with butter.
- Serve warm.

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.

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 425°. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt. Using a fork or pastry blender, cut in cold butter until mixture is crumbly and about the size of peas. Gradually add buttermilk, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened.
- Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface, and gently knead 3 to 4 times. Pat dough to 1-inch thickness using a light touch; the more you work the dough, the tougher your biscuits will be. Using a 2½-inch round cutter dipped in flour, cut dough without twisting cutter, flouring cutter between each cut. Make cuts close together to minimize scraps. Gently re-pat scraps and cut to use all dough. Place biscuits on prepared pan, sides touching so they rise high. Gently press down top of biscuits with your knuckles; brush with melted butter.
- Bake until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool on pan for 5 minutes; serve immediately with butter.
- Baking Tips: After you cube the butter, put it in the freezer for a few minutes to get it really cold. Resist the temptation to cut the butter into pieces that are smaller than peas; bigger butter pieces mean taller, flakier biscuits. Use full-fat buttermilk, and give the container a good shake before measuring. If the sides of your biscuits are touching, they will rise higher. Biscuits can be prepared through step 3 and frozen in a heavy-duty resealable plastic bag for up to 2 months. Bake frozen biscuits as directed for 30 to 35 minutes.

- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. While the oven is preheating combine self rising flour, baking powder in a large bowl and stir to combine.
- Cut cold butter into the flour mixture. You can use a pastry cutter, cut the butter into cubes, or use a cheese grater. I like using a cheese grater personally. Use your hands to combine the mixture so there are no large clumps.
- On a flat surface sprinkle some flour and evenly flatten dough to about 1/4 an inch thick. Fold the dough over on itself three times flatten as you go. Try no to over-work the dough!

- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Add the butter and, using the tips of your fingers, rub and crush the butter cubes into the flour repeatedly until they resemble small crumbles with a few larger pieces of butter remaining. It should take you about 3 minutes of steadily rubbing the butter into the flour to get there.
- Form a well in the center of the mixture with your fingers, then pour in the buttermilk. Using the fork, slowly push in the flour from the side of the bowl, working in a circular motion, until a shaggy wet dough begins to form. Once you see no more loose pools of buttermilk in the bowl, dump the dough out onto a well-floured work surface and use your hands to quickly but gently pat the dough into a 1-inch-thick sheet.
- Lift up one side of the sheet and roll it up loosely like a jelly roll, letting it come to rest seam side down. Gently flatten the dough again into a 1-inch-thick round and, using the floured cutter, cut out rounds from the dough, spaced as close together as possible and re-flouring the cutter as needed to keep the dough from sticking to it. Transfer them to the prepared baking sheet, spaced at least ½ inch apart. Re-roll the scraps at least twice to get 18 biscuits, keeping in mind that the biscuits cut from the rerolled dough will be slightly less tender than the ones from the first round.

- Heat oven to 500°F. In large bowl whisk together flour, homemade baking powder, and kosher salt. Add lard, coating in flour. Working quickly, rub lard between fingertips until roughly half the lard is coarsely blended and half remains in large pieces, about 3/4 inch.
- Make a well in center of flour mixture. Add buttermilk all at once. With a large spoon stir mixture quickly, just until it is blended and begins to mass and form a sticky dough. (If dough appears dry, add 1 to 2 tablespoons additional buttermilk.)
- Immediately turn dough onto generously floured surface. Using floured hands, knead briskly 8 to 10 times until cohesive ball of dough forms. Gently flatten dough with hands to even thickness. Using floured rolling pin, lightly roll dough to a 3/4-inch thickness.
- Using a dinner fork dipped in flour, pierce dough completely through at 1/2-inch intervals. Flour a 2 1/2- or 3-inch biscuit cutter. Stamp out rounds and arrange on heavy baking sheet. Add dough pieces, as-is, to baking sheet.

- Blend flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder and soda in a mixing bowl. Remove chilled butter from the freezer and add to the dry mix. Using a pastry cutter, cut the cold butter into the flour making a coarse ground consistency.
- Add the milk and work into the flour to form a soft crumbly dough. Scrape the dough onto a floured surface and knead into a 5-6 inch rectangle. Fold in half and knead to size again. Do this a total of 3 times ending with the same rectangle.

- In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar. Use a pastry cutter or two forks to cut the butter and shortening into the flour mixture until incorporated and the mixture resembles coarse meal. You will still see flakes of butter and shortening throughout, which is good!
- Gradually add the buttermilk, stirring with a wooden spoon until a fairly wet, sticky dough forms. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 1 minute (folding the dough back over on itself), adding flour to the counter and your hands, as necessary, to prevent sticking. Pat to ¾-inch thickness. Use a biscuit cutter to cut out rounds (I use either a 2 or 2 ½ -inch cutter). Firmly press the cutter down into the dough, but do not twist. Twisting the biscuit cutter seals off the edges of the biscuits and they therefore will not rise as high.
- Arrange biscuits (with sides touching) on the parchment-lined baking sheet or in a parchment-lined round cake pan. Place the tray of biscuits in the refrigerator for about 5 minutes (if you have time) to chill before popping them in the oven. Brush the tops of the biscuits with a little bit of the melted butter.
