Delicious Old Timey Buttermilk Biscuits




Source of Recipe


Interent


List of Ingredients




1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons Crisco or mix of unsalted butter and shortening
2/3 - 3/4 cup buttermilk

Recipe



You can make your own buttermilk by adding a little vinegar to regular whole milk, or using a buttermilk powder.

This is very important....Preheat oven to 500 F. When you place the bisuits into the oven, turn it down to 425F and cook at this temp.

In a large bowl or wood biscuit bowl, combine flours, baking powder, soda, sugar, and salt.

For those of you that don't want to get your hands messy, you can cut in the shortening (and/or butter) until the mixture resembles coarse, grainy meal. Sprinkle the buttermilk over flour, stirring lightly with a fork until ingredients are evenly moistened. Now you really need to use your hands and mix with your dough. Pinch off dough, roll out in your hands

Place on a lightly greased cookie sheet pat down just a little with your finger tips and dab on milk or milk mixed with melted butter or even just plain water. Bake 12 - 14 minutes or until light golden brown. They seem to darken just a tad once removed from the oven.

I usually get a dozen and a half biscuits.

If you feel like your oven is hotter or you feel uncomfortable baking them as I do, you can bake in hot oven 425 F or if this is too hot for you, reduce heat to 400 and bake a minute or two longer.
