![]() Using a bench knife (or a metal spatula can be helpful if you do not have a bench knife), fold the dough in half and then turn it 90 degrees. Pat the dough out (do not roll with a rolling pin) until it is about 1-inch (2.5 cm) thick.With floured hands bring the dough together into one mass. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured counter.Add the cold buttermilk (240 grams, 1 cup) into the bowl and stir with a spoon or a silicone spatula just until combined.Continue cutting the fat into the flour until most of the pieces of fat are about the size of peas with some pieces being about the size of a walnut half.

It’s not so much that it makes these biscuits too savory. Salt: Salt is what gives these biscuits flavor. While baking powder does the heavy lifting, the baking soda balances out the acidic ingredients. It gives the biscuit the rise and some fluffiness.īaking Soda: You might be wondering why baking soda is needed if this recipe already contains baking powder. I suggest using a 1 to 1 gluten free flour blend.īaking Powder: Baking powder does most of the leavening in the biscuit. This recipe can be made gluten-free by substituting the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour. All-purpose is recommended but you can also make biscuits using self-rising flour. The reason I like to do an all butter biscuit is mostly for the delicious flavor!
