Recipe courtesy of The Oregonian, haven't tried this yet but the biscuits look good! If you want to give the biscuits a sweet touch, add 1 tablespoon granulated sugar when you combine the dry ingredients. Would be great with sausage gravy. Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter (8 tablespoons, divided) or 1/2 cup margarine (8 tablespoons, divided) |
2 cups all-purpose flour |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
3/4 cup buttermilk |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Melt 4 tbl butter in a 8 or 9-inch square baking pan. Set aside.
2. Mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Cut in remaining butter until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal.
3. Make a hole in the dry ingredients and add buttermilk all at once. Stir only to moisten and until dough is free from sides of the bowl.
4. Knead gently 10 to 12 times. Do not overknead or biscuits will be tough.
5. Roll out to be about 1 inch thick. Cut with a 2-3 inch round cookie cutter that has been dipped in flour. Place biscuits in pan over melted butter, and turn so both sides are coated. Bake 12-15 minutes, serve immediately.
