Hi Rebecca, These are the biscuits I make most often: Combine in food processor or large mixing bowl: 2 cups flour, 2 tsp. baking powder, 1/2 tsp. Kosher or sea salt. Cut in with pastry blender, 2 knives or food processor 1 stick very cold butter. When mixture looks like fat crumbs, add 2/3 cup cold milk. Combine briefly with food processor or fork. Pat out to a thickness of 3/4-1 inch, cut out biscuits. Place on parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate until ready to bake (no longer than an hour or so), or bake immediately in hot oven (450-degrees) for 15 minutes.
When I have more time and the buttermilk available, I make this recipe from Martha Stewart. The biscuits are fabulous! Buttermilk Biscuits (A Martha Stewart Recipe) 2 cups flour 2 tsp. Baking powder 1 tsp. Salt 1/4 tsp. Baking soda 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold butter 1/2 cup buttermilk 1/2 cup heavy cream Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine dry ingredients. Cut in butter. Combine buttermilk and cream, and stir in with fork. Pat dough out to 1-inch thick rectangle. Cut out biscuits. Place 1 inch apart on ungreased baking sheet. Brush with more buttermilk. Bake for 22-24 minutes, until lightly browned. Serve immediately. If you want to use biscuits for shortcake, add from 1-3 TBSP. sugar to the dry ingredients. Both of these recipes make delicious biscuits! Enjoy!
