Carolina's Buttermilk Biscuits

Submitted by P48422

"This recipe is from an old friend, Carolina, who makes a fabulous biscuit. This is different than my other recipe for buttermilk biscuits because it has the addition of an egg. It has a different taste and texture, but it is equally as good."

 

• Ready In: 20mins
• Ingredients: 8
• Yields: 10 biscuits

ingredients

• 3 cups white lily all-purpose flour
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons double-acting baking powder
• 3⁄4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 3⁄4 cup butter, cold
• 1 extra large egg, slightly beaten
• 3⁄4 cup buttermilk

directions

1. Sift dry ingredients together.
2. With a pastry blender, cut cold butter into dry ingredients until mixture resembles very coarse breadcrumbs (sort of like fresh bread crumbs).
3. Stir buttermilk into beaten egg and add mixture to flour mixture.
4. Stir quickly, until dough forms a soft ball.
5. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead 5 or 6 times.
6. Let dough rest for a minute, then roll out to 1/2 inch thickness.
7. Cut out biscuits using a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter.
8. Place biscuits, 1 inch apart, on baking sheet that has been sprayed with Pam.
9. Bake at 400°F for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown.

I have been wanting to make biscuits from scratch for the longest time and I am very grateful for this recipe that resulted in great-tasting biscuits and didn't need a lot of time to prepare. My DH almost ate them all! ;)

These were wonderful! Made them to go w/ Chicken Fried Chicken w/milk gravy (#22227)- a great dinner!

I tried these with great expections. They did come out with a decent texture, but they were too sweet to me, for a biscuit to go with a regular meal. I think they would probably be great to use for something like Strawberry Shortcake.

These were very simple. I had never made homemade buscuits before, and was a little nervous, but these turned out great! I served Kittencal's Recipe #258508 I will definitely be making these again!

These were absolutely fantastic. As my husband said as they came out of the oven, "looks likes a biscuit, smells like a biscuit, and mmmmmmmmm tastes like a biscuit!" Thank you for sharing!
