Easy Homemade Biscuits

By srumbel

If you are a small family like us, you might not want to make so many biscuits. Place the cut, unbaked, biscuits on a baking tray and pop them into the freezer. Freeze for 30 minutes, then individually wrap in plastic wrap and place in a labeled Ziploc. When you are ready to heat them up, simply add a few minutes to the original baking time!

Ingredients

• 2 C. flour
• 1 T. baking powder
• 1/2 t. salt
• 8 T. COLD butter (I recommend salted with these)
• 1 C. buttermilk

Preparation

Step 1

1.Preheat your oven to 450 degrees.
2.Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a blender (or food processor). Cut the butter into chunks and add it with the dry ingredients. Pulse a few times until the butter resembles crumbs.
3.Pour in the buttermilk and pulse until combined. Turn out onto a well floured surface. Use well floured hands to pat the dough into a 1 inch thick round. Fold on top of itself several times and press down to 1/2 inch thickness.
4.Using a round cookie cutter, or a glass cup, cut out your circles. Place onto a greased pan and bake 10 minutes. Make sure you watch them closely so they don’t over bake.
