KILLER BUTTERMILK BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Butter an 8 or 9-inch cake pan.
• Place the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl and with a paddle attachment mix in the shortening until pea sized pieces remain. With a wooden spoon stir in the cream, milk, and buttermilk and let sit 2 minutes. The dough should be very wet and look like cottage cheese.
• Place the 1 cup of flour on a sheet pan with a wall and flour your hands. Using a small or medium ice cream scoop, dip into the batter and place scoops of batter onto the flour until the pan is full. Carefully toss the scoops of batter in the flour. Carefully lift the coated pieces of batter out and place around the edge of the buttered cake pan, packing them tightly, then place some in the center of the pan.
• Bake in the center of the oven for 15 to 20 minutes. As you take them from the oven brush them with melted butter and serve them hot with butter and jam.
• Notes about the recipe: I've tried a lot of biscuit recipes and love my whipped cream biscuits recipe but this is even better and it's easy and fun to do with kids. It's a version of a recipe I learned from Shirley Corriher but I like mine a little less sweet and not quite as rich as hers. All you need is an ice cream scoop for shaping. And use Lily White Flour if you can get it. I keep a bag in my pantry in a zip lock bag that Shirley gave me.

FLUFFY BUTTERMILK BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Cut in butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add buttermilk and cream; stir to combine.
• Turn out dough onto a lightly floured work surface, and pat into a 6 1/2-inch round (about 1 inch high). Using a lightly floured 2 1/2-inch cutter, cut out rounds. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing about 1 inch apart. Gather scraps, reshape, and cut out. Brush tops with buttermilk. Bake until tops are golden, 22 to 24 minutes. Transfer biscuits to a wire rack, and cool.

CHEF JOHN'S BUTTERMILK BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
• Whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda together in a large bowl.
• Cut butter into flour mixture with a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, about 5 minutes.
• Make a well in the center of butter and flour mixture. Pour in 3/4 cup buttermilk; stir until just combined.
• Turn dough onto a floured work surface, pat together into a rectangle.
• Fold the rectangle in thirds. Turn dough a half turn, gather any crumbs, and flatten back into a rectangle. Repeat twice more, folding and pressing dough a total of three times.
• Roll dough on a floured surface to about 1/2 inch thick.
• Cut out 12 biscuits using a 2 1/2-inch round biscuit cutter.
• Transfer biscuits to the prepared baking sheet. Press an indent into the top of each biscuit with your thumb.
• Brush the tops of biscuits with 2 tablespoons buttermilk.
• Bake in the preheated oven until browned, about 15 minutes.

FARMHOUSE BUTTERMILK BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450.
• In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, cream of tartar, and sugar.
• Cut butter into pieces, then cut into flour mixture. Real butter is very hard, and I found that it was much easier to use my fingers to squeeze the butter into the flour.
• When the mixture is well combined and crumbly, make a well in the center and pour in buttermilk.
• Using a fork, stir, starting at the outside of the bowl and blending inward.
• Turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead a few times, just until the dough is completely combined and holds together well.
• With a rolling pin, roll dough out to about 1/2 inch thick. Cut with a biscuit cutter or round cookie cutter.
• Grease a cookie sheet with crisco and place the biscuits 1-2 inches apart on the sheet and bake at 450 degrees for 10 - 12 minutes.

AMISH BUTTERMILK BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
• Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar in a large bowl. Cut in cold butter. Add buttermilk and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
• Place on a floured surface and pat into a circle about 1-inch thick. Cut biscuits using a 3.5-inch biscuit cutter. Arrange 6 biscuits in a circle, 1 in the center, edges touching.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bottoms are browned and tops are starting to brown, 11 to 14 minutes.

FLAKY BUTTERMILK BISCUITS

Steps:

• Chill all the ingredients (except for the buttermilk) and all the equipment in the freezer, including the blade and bowl of the food processor. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, kosher salt, and butter in the bowl of the food processor. Pulse the mixture until it is the texture of fine meal.
• Transfer the flour mixture to a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the center, pour the buttermilk into the well, and mix by hand until the dough comes together.
• Turn the dough onto a clean work surface, dust with flour, and roll it into a ½-inch thick rectangle, applying even pressure and squaring off the edges. Laminate the dough by folding it into thirds, like a letter, and dust with flour; then roll the dough into a ½-inch thick rectangle again. Repeat this procedure a total of seven times, dusting with flour as necessary.
• Use the dough scraper to cut the dough into 2x2-inch squares; discard the excess dough. Place the cut biscuits on a baking sheet close together, with about ¼-inch or less between them, so they'll touch gently when they bake. Chill the cut biscuits for an hour.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter and sprinkle them with the sea salt. Bake the biscuits until they are golden brown, about 20 minutes. Remove them from the oven and serve warm.

CRUSTY BUTTERMILK BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500°F. In a large bowl, whisk together both flours, baking powder, and salt until thoroughly combined. Using your fingers, quickly work in butter, rubbing between your fingers to flatten as you go. (Roughly half of butter should have the consistency of very coarse meal; the rest should be in largish flattened pieces.) Make a well in mixture; pour in buttermilk. Stir quickly just until dough is well moistened and just beginning to form a mass. (It will be very wet and sticky.)
• Turn out dough onto a generously floured board or biscuit marble; sprinkle just enough flour over it to make it easy to handle. Knead quickly, without applying too much pressure as you fold. (The goal is to develop structure quickly without deflating.) Once it forms a cohesive dough, move to side of board; scrape up kneading flour.
• Sprinkle a fresh, light dusting of flour on board. (Do not flour top of biscuit dough.) Flouring only hands and rolling pin as needed, roll out dough approximately 1/2 inch thick. With a floured fork, pierce all the way through at 1/2-inch intervals. Using a 1 3/4-inch round cutter, stamp out biscuits (without rotating cutter); place them on parchment-lined baking sheets, almost touching. Gather and reroll scraps; punch out and place more rounds. Bake until biscuits are puffed slightly and brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Serve warm.
