BREAD

Biscuit (standard)

  • 1 cup, flour
  • 1/2 tsp, salt
  • 1 Tbsp, baking powder
  • 3 Tbsp, cold butter
  • ~3/4 cup, buttermilk

If using White Lilly or other self rising flour modify baking powder as needed.

Mix dry ingredients well. Add cubed cold or frozen butter. Use a pastry cutter to cut into small pieces and mix well with dry ingredients. Add buttermilk, a little at a time, and mix to desired consistency. Do not overmix, be very gentle.

Place on floured surface and roll out (again, being gentle). Fold a number of times and roll again to about an inch height. Cut with appropriate cutter, being careful not to twist.

Place in oven at 425 degrees F for 15 minutes or until slightly browned.
