Flaky Biscuits

Prep Time: 15 minutes

 

 

Ingredients

 

2 cups self-rising flour

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 cup butter or margarine

3/4 cup buttermilk

 

Directions:

 

1. Preheat oven to 425 degree F. In a medium mixing bowl stir together flour

and baking soda. With a pastry blender or two knives cut in butter or

margarine until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Make a well in center. Add

the buttermilk all at once; stir until moistened.

2. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Quickly knead dough by

gently folding and pressing dough 10 to 12 strokes or until nearly smooth.

Pat or lightly roll dough to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut dough with a floured

2-1/2-inch biscuit cutter. Place biscuits 1 inch apart on a lightly greased

baking sheet. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until golden. Remove biscuits

from baking sheet and serve hot. Makes 10 to 12 biscuits.

Pepper Cheese Biscuits: Prepare biscuits as above, except stir 3/4 cup

shredded Monterey Jack cheese with jalapeno peppers (3 ounces), 2

tablespoons snipped chives, and 1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper into

flour/butter mixture.

<Make-Ahead Tip: Store baked biscuits in a freezer bag or container in the

freezer up to 1 month. Reheat frozen biscuits, wrapped in foil, in a 300

degree F. oven for 20 to 25 minutes.
