Title: Classic Buttermilk Biscuits
Categories: Breads, Dairy
Yield: 14 Servings
5 c Sifted unbleached
- all-purpose flour (measure
- after sifting)
1 tb + 1 1/2 ts Scott's Homemade
- Baking Powder (below)
1 tb Kosher salt
1/2 c + 2 Tbsp. packed lard or
- butter; chilled
2 c Chilled buttermilk
3 tb Unsalted butter; melted
MMMMM-------------------HOMEMADE BAKING POWDER------------------------
1/4 c Cream of tartar
2 tb Baking soda
In a small bowl combine cream of tartar and baking soda.
Sift together 3 times. Transfer to a clean, tight-sealing
jar. Store at room temperature, away from sunlight, for up
to 6 weeks.
Heat oven to 500ºF/260ºC.
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".
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" thickness.
Using a dinner fork dipped in flour, pierce dough
completely through at 1/2-inch intervals. Flour a 2 1/2"
or 3" biscuit cutter. Stamp out rounds and arrange on
heavy baking sheet. Add dough pieces, as-is, to baking
sheet.
Place on rack in upper third of oven. Bake 8 to 12 minutes
until crusty and golden brown. Remove. Brush with melted
butter. Serve hot.
Yields: 12 to 16 biscuits
