KRISTY'S FAMOUS BUTTERMILK
BISCUITS
 
3 cups self-rising flour (recently purchased)
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, cold (not frozen)
1 to 1 1/2 cup buttermilk

Preheat oven to 425°F.

In a medium mixing bowl, cut butter into flour using a pastry cutter or fork until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Pour in buttermilk gradually, stirring mixture with fork. Add milk until the dough is not sticking to the sides of the bowl and all flour is absorbed into the dough.

On a clean, dry, floured surface, roll dough until it is floured enough so that it doesn't stick to the surface. Press dough out until it is about 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick.

Using a floured biscuit cutter or floured glass rim, cut biscuits. Continue to roll, pressing out and cutting dough until all dough is used.

Place onto an ungreased pan; biscuits should be barely touching.

Bake (oven rack should be in the middle position) for about 15 minutes or until tops are golden brown. Immediately brush with butter.

Serve hot. Great with butter and honey, cheese, or smothered in country gravy.

Tips: In order for the biscuits to turn out fluffy and light, it is important that your flour is fresh and the butter is cold (straight from the refrigerator). Leftover biscuits may be stored in a Ziploc bag for approximately 2-3 days, but they are always better when eaten fresh from the oven. Any questions, email me at TayLaL23@yahoo. com. Enjoy!

This was my first time making homemade biscuits and this recipe sounded easy enough. I cut the recipe in half since there were only 2 people eating. Other than cutting the recipe in half I followed it exactly. The biscuits were ok but just seemed like they were missing something... maybe a pinch of salt. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know. Thanks!

I have found the perfect Buttermilk Biscuit recipe:

Grate 1 stick of very cold, real butter into a bowl. Then add 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda and 2 cups of self-rising flour into the bowl of butter. Stir with a fork until mixed, try to work fast so your butter doesn't melt. I then add about a cup of buttermilk and continue stirring, you may have to add a tiny bit more buttermilk, if it is too dry and not sticking together.

Pour the dough onto a floured surface and roll out to about 1-inch thick. I used an old baking pan that I floured to roll them out on. Then I cut them out and placed them on another greased or sprayed pan and cooked them about 12 or 13 minutes or until the bottoms were brown. I then turned on my broiler to brown the tops of them. I baked them at 410°F.

They were the best biscuits I have ever eaten!
