Baking Powder Buttermilk Biscuits
Source of Recipe
4 on 4
List of Ingredients
3 cups self-rising
2 Tbsp. baking powder
3/4 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup shortening
Recipe
Preheat oven to 375*F.
In a large bowl blend together the flour, baking powder and salt. Cut
in the shortening using two knives or a pastry tool. Add milk and mix
well.
Turn out onto a floured surface (mix a bit of baking powder with the
flour).
Knead a bit to pick up the flour until dough is slightly stiff. Roll
or pat out into a 9x5 rectangle and use a 3-inch round cookie cutter
(or water glass) to cut biscuits out.
Place in an 8x8-inch round cake pan or 8x8-inch square baking dish
(the biscuits will touch) that has been sprayed with nonstick cooking
spray. Bake for about 12-15 minutes, until lightly golden brown.
Makes about 12.
Recipe Notes:
You can use 3/4 cup regular milk with 1 Tbsp. of white vinegar in
place of the buttermilk.
I tried this the last time and they were wonderful. They were heavy
biscuits, but yummy.
If you don't have self-rising flour, use all-purpose flour with an
extra 1 Tbsp. of baking powder and an extra 1 tsp. of baking soda.
