Ingredients
1/2 lb. unsalted butter
12 oz. all-purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. sugar
1 c. buttermilk
Preparation
Step 1Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.Step 2Grate butter on coarse side of cheese grater and freeze.Step 3On a cool, clean work surface, mix all dry ingredients together. Add the cold, grated butter and work it in with your fingertips, leaving the whole mixture fairly chunky with butter. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in buttermilk. Start stirring flour mixture into the buttermilk with a fork until it begins to hold together and then mix with your hands until a sticky dough forms.Step 4Flatten the dough to about one inch thick and fold up like you would a letter for an envelope and repeat three more times. Flatten the dough back to one inch thick and cut into 3 inch circles and place them on a buttered sheet pan so that their sides are touching - this will keep them moist inside. Bake at 425 degrees for about 20 minutes until a light golden color forms on the top. To enhance browning, remove baking sheet from the oven in the last 5 minutes of cooking and rub a little butter on the top of each biscuit. Then place back in the oven to finish baking.See all recipes and cooking videos from Chef Donald Link. Find more recipes and food photos on Delish!
