Servings: Makes: About 20 biscuits
Servings: Makes: About 20 biscuits
Ingredients
- 4 cups self-rising flour, plus more for the work surface
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ pound (3 sticks) salted butter, cold, cut into ½-inch pieces or grated
- 2 large eggs, beaten, plus 1 large egg for brushing
- 1 ½ cups buttermilk, or as needed, plus 1 tablespoon for brushing
Steps
- 1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Add the butter and use a pastry blender to cut the butter into the flour until the pieces are even and about the size of peas.
- 2. Stir in the beaten eggs with a wooden spoon until combined. Stir in 1 ½ cups buttermilk until the dough comes together into a sticky mass. If it is too dry, add more buttermilk 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing after each addition, until it reaches the correct consistency. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to overnight.
- 3. Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 4. Scrape the dough onto a floured work surface. Use your floured hands to press it into a round roughly 14 inches across and about ½ inch thick.
- 5. Use a floured 2 ¾-inch round cutter to cut out about 20 biscuits. If necessary, collect and pat out the scraps to cut more biscuits.
- 6. Transfer the biscuits to the prepared baking sheet, arranging them so that they all are touching.
- 7. In a small dish, beat together the remaining egg and 1 tablespoon buttermilk. Brush the mixture on the top of the biscuits.
- 8. Bake until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool slightly in the pan on a rack.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. For longer storage, arrange the biscuits about ½ inch apart on two parchment-paper-lined baking sheets and freeze until solid. Transfer them to a zip-top plastic bag and freeze for up to two weeks. There is no need to thaw them before baking.
