Buttermilk Biscuits

These are my ultimate favorite! I love them so much. They are so warm and buttery also light. My mother makes them all the time and I also made them with Cultural Food Club at Bjorklunden. I highly recommend you eat them. When I went to the Loveless Café in Nashville, TN, they serve delicious biscuits there too. I can say that this recipe makes awesome biscuits that taste just as good. Remember that biscuits should be served with some sort of jam and butter.

Recipe is from Sarabeth's Bakery Cookbook.

Ingredients:

• 3 ¼ cups unbleached all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons superfine sugar
• 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons baking powder
• ⅛ teaspoon fine sea salt
• 12 tablespoons (1 ½ sticks) unsalted butter, chilled, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
• 1 ½ cups buttermilk

Directions:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees
• Add the dry ingredients into a bowl with a mixer
• Add the butter
• Mix on low speed until the mixture resembles a course meal with some small pieces of butter
• Add the buttermilk and continue to mix until the dough barely comes together
• Scrape the dough and knead until it is smooth
• Sprinkle the dough with flour and roll out to be about 3/4 inch thick
• Using a biscuit cutter, dip the cutter in flour and cut the biscuits.
• Place them about 1 inch apart on a baking sheet.
• Bake until the biscuits have risen and are a little bit brown. It should take about 18-20 minutes.
