MILE HIGH BISCUITS

I've made lots of biscuits over the years and these are, by far, the best.  They were very tender and moist and flaky.  Jeremy loved them.  I just slightly altered the recipe to make it quicker and easier.

MILE HIGH BISCUITS

INGREDIENTS:

·         4 cups all-purpose flour

·         4 teaspoons baking powder

·         1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt

·         1 teaspoon baking soda

·         1 cup unsalted butter, cut into cubes

·         1 1/2 cups buttermilk

·         1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

DIRECTIONS:

1.      Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

2.     In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Add cold butter, using your fingers to work the butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add buttermilk and stir using a rubber spatula until a soft dough forms (add a bit extra if dough is too dry).

3.     Working on silicone mat, knead the dough 3-4 times until it comes together. Using hands, flatten the dough into a 1 1/4-inch thick rectangle. Cut with knife into 10-15 biscuits. Separate biscuits and place baking sheet in the freezer for 10-15 minutes.

4.     Remove biscuits from freezer bake for 11-18 minutes, or until golden brown.

5.     Serve warm plain or with honey.
