Ingredients
- 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 scant tablespoon baking powder
- 1 1/4 cups buttermilk
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
Directions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. In a large bowl mix together dry ingredients. Add buttermilk, incorporating it into the dry ingredients with a fork. Using hands work dough briefly until it just comes together. Turn dough out onto a barely floured surface and knead until dough becomes 1 piece and is slightly sticky, no more than a minute. Roll or pat dough into a round approximately 1/2 inch thick. Using a 3-inch biscuit cutter cut rounds. Re-roll scraps and continue cutting rounds until all the dough is used. Place each round on an ungreased baking sheet about 2 inches apart. With a pastry brush paint the top of each round with melted butter. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until lightly browned.

Despite the poor rating, I decide to give this receipt a try because it is very different from the typical buttermilk biscuit. It doesn't use any fat or sugar. It seems to be simple and healthy. I did find the dough to be wet and sticky. It was not possible to roll it as the receipt suggested. Instead, I use ice cream scooper and pack them in my cast iron pan. They rise beautifully and taste great!

I think the recipe needs some tweaking. We followed the instructions to the letter. The dough was a bit sticky. They were rolled out and put on a cookie sheet to bake. It took longer by about 5 minutes. They did not rise at all. They were tough but in the end were tasty. They will go well with sausage gravy.

The dough was way too wet. There needs to be less water and more fat to make this recipe work.
