Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients:
- 3 cups self-rising flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons confectioners’ sugar
Fat Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) shortening
- Melted butter for brushing
Liquid Ingredients:
- 1 1/4 cups (300 ml) buttermilk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to a searing 450°F, ensuring the baking environment is perfectly heated for golden, flaky biscuits.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, thoroughly blend the dry ingredients, creating a uniform powder mixture that will serve as the foundation for the biscuits.
- Incorporate the shortening into the flour mixture, using fingertips or a pastry cutter to break down the fat until the texture resembles coarse, uneven crumbs.
- Gently introduce buttermilk to the dry ingredients, stirring with a light touch to avoid overworking the dough, then carefully knead until the mixture becomes a smooth, cohesive mass.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface, roll out to approximately 1/2-inch thickness, and use a round cutter to form biscuits, positioning them with ample spacing on a prepared baking sheet.
- Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 12 minutes, watching for a rich, golden-brown exterior that signals perfect doneness, then immediately brush the hot biscuits with melted butter for an extra layer of richness.
Notes
- Cold ingredients guarantee flakier biscuits, so keep butter and buttermilk refrigerator-chilled before mixing.
- Handle dough minimally to prevent tough biscuits; gentle kneading maintains tender texture.
- Use a sharp biscuit cutter and press straight down without twisting to ensure perfect rise and layers.
- For gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with cup-for-cup gluten-free blend and add xanthan gum for better binding.
