Honestly you can never go wrong with a fluffy biscuit, but it’s easy to create a dried out overly tough one. Here’s how to avoid that- don’t spend time rolling them out and cutting them!! Instead, make these fluffy no cut biscuits!
This is the easiest and most delicious biscuit recipe, one my mom swears by (and that means it’s good). Less than 30 minutes from start to finish, and these are golden on the top and fluffy and flaky on the inside..basically they’re a dream come true.
Ingredients:
- 2 C flour
- 1 tbsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 ½ C buttermilk (straight from the fridge, not room temp)
- ¼ C butter, cubed (also straight from the fridge)
Now you make it:
- Preheat the oven to 500
- Mix dry ingredients together and then add butter. Using a fork or whisk, chop butter/mix together until the butter is in fine crumbles. I did this in a food processor and pulsed about 10 times. The key is to not overwork your dough, so mix it as few times as is efficient
- Add buttermilk and fold in until well combined, but working with the dough as minimally as you can- this produces tough biscuits
- Spray a round cake pan and a ¼ c measuring cup with cooking spray. Lightly flour a baking sheet
- Using the measuring cup, scoop out a dozen balls of dough and drop them on the baking sheet into the flour. Quickly roll them in the flour just enough the coat them and form a ball, and then place them in the cake pan- 9 on the outside and 3 in the middle
- Bake for 5 minutes at 500, and then turn your oven to 450 and bake for 12 more minutes. Let them set for 5 minutes before flipping them upside down and breaking apart
Serve these fluffy no cut biscuits with butter, jelly, honey, or my homestyle breakfast sausage gravy!
Enjoy!
