Southern Buttermilk Biscuit (Freezer Recipe)
I just keep coming back to this Southern Buttermilk Biscuit Recipe, it has become a favorite! This recipe makes a batch for freezing and in my opinion, you might as well make enough to have on hand if you're going to get your hands in it. This method is incredibly convenient...
Ingredients
- 8 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 4 TBSP baking powder
- 3 tsp salt
- 3½ sticks butter, cold
- 1 quart buttermilk (4 cups)
Instructions
- Combine the flour, salt, baking soda & powder in a large bowl.
- Grate the butter into the flour, often dredging the butter in the flour for a better grip and for a less greasy mess.
- Using a pastry cutter (or your hands) rub together the flour and butter until a coarse crumbly texture forms.
- Pour the buttermilk in and stir with a wooden spoon until dough comes together. (If too thick keep adding 2 tbsp of milk until dough becomes a little tackier.) Dough should be thick and flour crumbs are normal (the dough shouldn't be too wet.)
- Transfer dough onto a well floured surface and pat down to about a ½- inch thick rectangle. Fold dough into a letter 3 times patting down to a 1"thickness.
- Cut out circles (about a 3" diameter.) Transfer biscuits & scraps into a well floured tray and freeze until solid. Then transfer biscuits into a gallon size zip-loc bag and scraps into a quart size bag.
- TO MAKE: Place frozen biscuits onto a baking sheet and bake for 20-30 minutes in a preheated 400° oven (or toaster oven.)
