Biscuits
Ingredients
- 2 cups self rising flour
- 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter
- 2/3 cup Milk
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 Tablespoon butter melted, for brushing biscuits
- Flour for dusting work surface
Servings: biscuits
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Combine lemon juice and milk in measuring cup. You just made buttermilk! Set aside.
-
Measure flour into bowl and add butter. Using a pastry blender (or two knives), cut the cold butter into the flour until the mixture looks like small peas.
-
Stir milk into the flour mixture until it is barely combined. It's okay for it to look shaggy.
-
Sprinkle flour over a clean work surface and turn the dough out onto it. Gently fold the dough together 4 times, just until barely held together. Pat dough out to 1 inch thickness. Using a biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits by pressing straight down (twisting results in flat biscuits!) Re-pat dough until you have used it all. I got 6 biscuits, your results may vary depending on the thickness of your biscuits. Place on baking sheet, about 1 inch apart and bake on center rack of the preheated oven for 6 minutes.
-
Remove biscuits from the oven, brush with melted butter and bake for an additional 2-4 minutes until lightly brown.
-
Serve with Unicoi Preserves and take compliments on your biscuit baking prowess.
