These Baking powder – buttermilk biscuits are a breakfast classic.
Using a food processor is easy but you can also use a mixer.
Served with your favorite jam, so light and tasty!
They only take a few minutes to put together.
Ingredients;
2 cups all purpose flour, unbleached preferred
3 TSP baking powder
1/2 TSP salt
1/2 cup Crisco shortening OR make it 1/4 each unsalted butter
1 cup cold buttermilk (see my “making buttermilk” recipe to make your own)
Directions;
Preheat oven to 450.
In a food processor place all the dry ingredients. Pulse a few times to mix. Then add the shortening mixing until the mixture looks like large crumbs.
Slowly add the milk into the processor until the dough forms a ball.
Roll out dough on a floured surface about 1/2″ thick.
Cut 2″ round biscuits and place them on a cookie sheet, preferably lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly brown and serve warm.
Makes about 12 biscuits.
