Buttermilk Biscuits
Split them and fill with sweetened cream. Fifteen minutes from bowl to oven.
Ingredients
- 4 cups flour
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 3/4 cup butter or shortening, cold
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 1/2 tsp salt
Method
- Sift the flour, soda and baking powder. Rub in the cold butter a little at a time.
- Buttermilk and salt in, and knead as little as you can get away with. Overworking makes them tough.
- Roll to half an inch and cut 2-inch rounds.
- Two inches apart on a greased tray. 200°C for 15 minutes until golden.
- Split and fill with cream whipped with icing sugar and vanilla.
