Buttermilk Biscuits

Oh my YUM YUM YUM. These taste great! Buttery and flaky with a soft center. I love a good biscuit and especially a recipe that only takes about 30-45 minutes from start to finish!!

I like to eat it with butter and jelly or I'm ready to try it with some cheddar cheese in the middle--taking me back to the days I lived in North Carolina and would order a cheddar biscuit at bojangles on my drive to work.

This recipe came from a blog called Yellow Bliss Road.

1/2 C unsalted butter, very cold, frozen for 20 minutes
2 C flour, plus more for work surface
2 T sugar
1 T baking powder
1/2 t salt
1 C cold buttermilk

1. Cut the butter into small pieces and freeze for 20 min.
2. Preheat oven to 450 and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. In a large bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Pour in a food processor.
4. Place cut butter in food processor and pulse until the butter is in tiny pieces.
5. Pour mix back into the large bowl and make a well in the center. Pour in buttermilk.
6. Gently stir with a rubber spatula. It will be crumbly.
7. Transfer dough to floured work surface and sprinkle the dough with some flour.
8. Fold the dough in half, turn it 90 degrees and fold in half again. Repeat two more times.
9. Add more flour to the work surface if needed, and use hands to press the dough down about 3/4" thick.
10. Use a 2" biscuit cutter or glass cup to cut out biscuits. Place on baking sheet 1/2".
11. Bake for 10-15 minutes.
