Southern Tide Buttermilk Biscuits

Ingredients

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 4 teaspoon Bakewell cream
  • 2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt, table grind (fine)
  • 1/4 pound unsalted butter, cold, chopped small
  • 1 1/2 cups buttermilk

Preparation

Step 1

Sift all dry ingredients into a bowl. Add butter and cut in with a pastry blender until butter is the size of small peas or rice.

Add buttermilk all at once, stirring in quickly with a fork.

Turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll or pat out to ¾-inch thick and cut with a biscuit cutter.

Bake at 475° F for 5 minutes, then turn off the oven and leave them in for 5 to 10 minutes longer until golden brown.
