Buttermilk biscuits for breakfast

Hi everybody

I made up some buttermilk biscuits for breakfast and thought I'd share the recipe.

Pre heat the oven to 425*F

So for this, get out a large mixing bowl and get the ingredients ready...

2 Cups white flour
1 cup buttermilk
For a buttermilk substitute, add a splash of vinegar to regular milk and let it sit for a few minutes to get thickened
1 Tbsp baking powder
1/2 Tsp baking soda
6 Tbsp cold butter (frozen works)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar

In the big bowl, add the dry ingredients and mix well with a whisk or fork

Cut in the cold butter with a knife, or if the butter is frozen use a cheese grater. Then squish it into the dry ingredients to kinda make it crumbly

Pour in the buttermilk, and gently mix it, just until combined, too much mixing makes dense heavy biscuits!

Place the dough on a floured surface and Pat it down about to 1/2 inch thick then fold it over itself.

You need to pat and fold this dough about 5 or 6 times. Then pat it out to around 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick and cut with a cookie cutter or the top of a drinking glass. I use a jar lid ring for this. But I have used a heart shaped cookie cutter before for a special Valentine's breakfast for my wife.

Place the biscuits either on parchment paper or a non stick baking sheet about 1/4 inch apart from each other, and bake for 10-12 minutes.

There it is, perfectly fluffy and light, almost as good as grandma's! I know, I said almost, because let's be realistic, they'll never be quite as good as grandma's were.

Thanks for reading, and bon appetit!
