THE OLD MILL BUTTERMILK BISCUITS
Prep time: 12 MinCook time: 13 MinTotal time: 25 Min
Ingredients
- 2 cups Miller's Choice Self-Rising Flour
- 1/4 cup vegetable shortening, chilled
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/4 cup extra flour for cutting
Instructions
- Place a rack in the center of the oven, and preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
- Place the flour in a mixing bowl. Cut the shortening into the flour using a pastry blender or two knives until pea-size. Pour the melted butter into the cup of buttermilk. Pour this into the flour mixture and mix with a fork until the mixture comes together. It will have a loose consistency.
- Place the extra 1/4 cup flour on a work surface. Dump the biscuit dough on top of the flour, and with floured hands work it gently into the dough, patting it out to 1-inch, folding one side over like closing a book. Pat out and fold one more time. Then pat out to 1-inch thickness. Flour a 2-inch cutter and push straight down to cut 12 biscuits.
- Place them nearly touching in a shallow pan, and bake until golden brown, 12 to 14 minutes.
- Note: If you want more golden biscuits, run them under the broiler briefly.
