When the warm butter meets the cold buttermilk, it will begin to form clumps-little droplets of fat throughout the liquid-a sign of success. The pockets ensure even distribution of fat throughout the batter, creating a lighter biscuit with less butter. Ingredients:
5.6 ounces unbleached all-purpose flour (about 1 1/4 cups) |
3.6 ounces white whole-wheat flour (about 3/4 cup) |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1 teaspoon sugar |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/4 cup unsalted butter |
1 1/4 cups very cold fat-free buttermilk |
1 tablespoon canola oil |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 450°.
2. Weigh or lightly spoon flours into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flours, baking powder, sugar, salt, and baking soda in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk to combine.
3. Place butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at HIGH for 1 minute or until completely melted. Add cold buttermilk, stirring until butter forms small clumps. Add oil, stirring to combine.
4. Add buttermilk mixture to flour mixture; stir with a rubber spatula until just incorporated (do not overmix) and batter pulls away from sides of bowl. (Batter will be very wet.)
5. Drop batter in mounds of 2 heaping tablespoonfuls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 450° for 11 minutes or until golden. Cool 3 minutes; serve warm.
