List of Ingredients
1 1/2 c All-purpose flour
1/2 c Cake flour
1/2 ts Salt
2 ts Baking powder
1/2 c Cold unsalted butter
3/4 c Buttermilk or heavy cream (or more)
Recipe
Preheat the oven to 450F; set rack in middle level. Prepare biscuit
dough.
Combine the flours, salt and baking powder in a mixing bowl and stir
well to mix. Rub in the butter by hand or with a pastry blender until
the mixture is mealy. Stir in 3/4 cup of the buttermilk with a fork and
continue stirring gently until the dough begins to hold together. (If
the dough is dry, add more buttermilk, 1 tablespoon at a time.) Sprinkle
the work surface generously with flour and scrape the dough onto it.
Fold the dough over on itself two or three times. Use the dough
immediately . Pat dough into a 6-by-12- inch rectangle and cut into
eight 3-inch biscuits with a sharp, floured knife. Transfer to a
parchment-lined cookie sheet. Paint tops with buttermilk. Bake for 10 to
15 minutes, until well risen and golden.
