Southern Buttermilk Biscuits

Preheat the oven to 450 ° C. Or in a bowl of a food processor bowl dry ingredients together. Cut into the flour until the butter cut into pieces of similar food. If you are using a food processor until you get this consistency, pulse a few times.

Add buttermilk and mix JUST until combined. It appears on the dry side, add a little more buttermilk. This must be very wet. Turn out the dough on a floured board.

Gently, gently PAT with around 1/2 "thick till. Dough (do not roll with a rolling pin) is approximately 5-fold Fold the dough, gently press down on the dough to 1 inch thick. Use a round cutter cut into the bullet. You gently knead the scraps together and make a few more, but they can not be anywhere near as good as the first ones. The soft side of a cookie sheet-like, put them touching each other. Place biscuits If the "grumpy" if you want to party, put 1 inch biscuits close together, put them on the outside-it will not rise as high. Approximately 10-12 minutes-biscuit on top and bottom will be a beautiful light golden brown. cook
Do not Overbake.

Note: The actual biscuits for the key components, but do not have the dough processing. Hard biscuit dough as little as possible, or will need to be addressed. I overmixing material and have less chance to stay in the cold, because a food processor, which produces superior biscuits were found. In addition, you need to gently pat the dough with your hands. Rolling a hard biscuits with a rolling pin, resulting in a guaranteed way to stimulate gluten.
