Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 1/3 cup powdered milk
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 5 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 stick cold butter, cut into bits
- 1/2 cup shortening
- 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
- 1/4 cup melted butter
Directions
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
Stir together the flour, powered milk, sugar, baking powder, cream of tartar and salt in a medium bowl.
Using a pastry cutter, cut the butter and shortening into the dry mixture until blended thoroughly.
Fold in the buttermilk until the dough comes together.
On a lightly floured surface, turn out the dough and use hands to press into a circle 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick.
Cut out circles with a biscuit cutter or a glass. Place the biscuits in cast-iron skillets, then brush the tops with the melted butter.
Bake until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes.

I finally made fluffy biscuits! My advice to newbies is as you fold in the buttermilk and ingredients are barely combined, stop. Place dough on floured counter and again barely knead the dough and very gently spread out on counter. The less you touch the dough the fluffier the biscuits. I'm not a big fan of the slight buttermilk after taste, but it's still yummy!

Made these and they were flat, in taste and appearance. Looks like every other biscuit recipe I've read so don't know what Ree claims is the difference.
