Buttermilk Biscuits
These Buttermilk Biscuits check all the boxes. They are quick and easy to make, they have a soft, flaky inside, and they have a perfect golden brown outside. Plus, they also have that yummy tangy buttermilk taste. You’ll never make the stuff from the tube again! I love using this biscuit recipe for biscuits and gravy, strawberry shortcake, and breakfast sandwiches. However, they are great with just some butter and honey or jam. My favorite topping is this Strawberry Freezer Jam!
Ingredients in Our Buttermilk Biscuits Recipe
Flour – We use all-purpose flour for this recipe. Baking Powder – Baking powder is the leavening agent for these biscuits. It makes them nice and tall and fluffy! Sugar – Just a touch of sweetness makes these biscuits taste amazing. Salt – Just a little bit of salt for flavor.Cream of Tartar – Cream of Tartar, when combined with a liquid like buttermilk, helps to activate the baking powder. Butter – Make sure you use COLD butter. It makes all the difference in the texture. Pop the butter in the freezer for a few minutes before using, but don’t freeze completely. Shortening – Shortening aids butter in the creation of flaky layers, but it helps the biscuits stay tender. The shortening can be room temperature because it has a higher melting point than butter. Buttermilk – Buttermilk gives the biscuits a nice tangy flavor and helps bind everything together. Melted Butter (Optional) – If desired, then you can brush melted butter on the tops of the biscuits right after they come out of the oven.
