Photo: Buttermilk Biscuits Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 8 tablespoons ice cold butter
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- Cinnamon Spiced Butter, recipe follows
Directions
Preheat oven to 475 degrees F.
Slice butter and put on a plate in the freezer.
Sift the dry ingredients together into a bowl. Cut in the butter with a pastry cutter or a fork until it looks like coarse sand. Add the buttermilk and continue to cut the dough together. Turn out onto a floured surface and gently bring together. Gently press the dough into a rectangle until it is between 1/2 and 3/4-inch thick.
Use a round cutter that has been floured to cut the biscuits. Place in the freezer for at least 20 minutes.Remove biscuits from freezer and place on parchment paper on a baking sheet so they are touching each other. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve with spiced butter.
Cinnamon Spiced Butter:
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 8 tablespoons butter, softened
Mix dry ingredients together. Blend together with the butter using the back of a spoon. Wrap tightly and refrigerate overnight or a few hours.

Finally, I found the recipe I've been looking for. I should have known it took a whole stick of butter.

These were great! Here's what I did differently--doubled the recipe for starters. I used 1 cup white flour and 3 cups whole wheat flour. Processed with butter in food processor, which worked great! I used whole milk with a few teaspoons of lemon juice to make the butter milk. They were a hit! We normally do not eat any white flour, but I wanted to make sure they had a nice chewy texture for company. I ate one even though I'm sensitive to gluten. Thanks for a yummy biscuit!

I made these biscuits this morning and came out great. It was little hard working with the frozen butter...But i worked it out..... I set my oven to preheat 350 and baked biscuits for 15mins. They came out nice and brown and flaky. I did have to use a little more buttermilk. Next time i will use my food processor.
