An egg wash gives these fluffy biscuits a shiny, golden crust, slightly different from traditional biscuits brushed with butter. Use a soft-wheat flour, such as White Lily, for tenderness. Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
2 teaspoons sugar |
1/3 cup shortening |
2/3 cup buttermilk |
1 large egg, beaten |
Directions:
1. Combine first 5 ingredients in a large bowl; cut in shortening with a pastry blender until mixture is crumbly. Add buttermilk, stirring until dry ingredients are moistened. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead lightly 4 or 5 times.
2. Roll dough to 1/2-inch thickness, cut with a 2 1/2-inch round cutter, and place on lightly greased baking sheets. Brush biscuits with egg. Bake at 425° for 10 minutes or until golden.
