They are quick and easy to put together, and take a very short time to bake in the oven. Easy and quick, just the way I like it.To make the biscuits, you will need the following:
- 1 and 1/4 cups of cake flour [No cake flour? No problem!]
- 3/4 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 5 tablespoons of butter (half a stick plus one tablespoon)
- 3/4 cup of buttermilk
- Preheat oven to 500. Yes, it's an incredibly high temperature and it worried me too... but it only cooks for about six-seven minutes.
- Put 4 tablespoons of butter (which is half a stick), straight out of the fridge, into a food processor and pulse it about 4-5 times until the butter is in very small pieces.
- To your food processor, add in your cake flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Pulse several (3-4) times, until the mixture is crumbly.
- Transfer your mixture into a bowl and stir in your buttermilk until the dough is combined.
- Then, transfer your dough onto a floured surface. Pat, lightly, until it it is about one inch thick.
- Use a cookie cutter (whatever size you want... I chose a smaller one than the size of normal biscuits) to cut your biscuits and then transfer them each onto a lined baking sheet.
- Once you have cut as many biscuits as you can in the first batch, lightly form a dough again from the scraps. Repeat this step to cut as many biscuits as you can from your dough. I was able to make 15 small biscuits.
- Melt the remaining one tablespoon of butter and brush the top of each of the biscuits.
- Bake for about 6-8 minutes, until the biscuits are golden brown. I kept a close eye on mine because I don't usually make anything at such a high temperature!
