Buttermilk Biscuit Recipe

How to store buttermilk biscuits
You’ll never find a better breakfast food than a warm buttermilk biscuit. But what do you do when you don’t have time to bake? Well, you can buy pre-made biscuits or biscuit mixes.
The problem with buying pre-made biscuits is that they don’t taste as good as homemade ones. But you can make your biscuits from scratch and enjoy the same delicious results.
Buttermilk biscuits are quite different from regular biscuits because they are much fluffier. If you’ve ever made biscuits from a mix, you’ll know how difficult it is to roll out the dough.
Buttermilk biscuits are made with shortening instead of butter. It’s a healthier alternative to regular butter biscuits. You can add herbs, spices, and cheese if you want to add some extra flavor.
Here’s a quick and easy way to store buttermilk biscuits:
Bake them straight from the freezer.
Let them cool down completely before you put them in the refrigerator.
If you’re using frozen biscuits, let them thaw and then warm them in the microwave.
How to make Buttermilk Biscuits
Buttermilk biscuits are delicious and nutritious. I will show you how to make a buttermilk biscuit from scratch in this recipe.
This is a great recipe to make at home. You can also use it to replace store-bought biscuits. If you’re planning a dinner party, you can serve buttermilk biscuits with a simple meal.
Before we get started, let’s talk about ingredients.
You’ll need flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, shortening, milk, and eggs.
You can use a food processor to make the dough easier.
The dough should be slightly sticky, so mix it well.
To prevent the biscuits from sticking to the bottom of the pan, lightly grease the pan.
How to freeze buttermilk biscuits
Here is a quick and easy recipe for Buttermilk Biscuits. The dough can be frozen for up to 3 months before baking.
I used self-rising flour in this recipe, but you can use plain all-purpose flour instead.
Mixing the dry ingredients takes about 2 minutes.
If you don’t have self-rising flour, substitute 1 cup of all-purpose flour and add ½ teaspoon of baking soda.
I recommend adding a tablespoon of sugar to the dry ingredients. This helps to give the biscuit a little sweetness.
You can also add a pinch of salt.
Combine the wet ingredients (buttermilk and milk) in a bowl.
Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until combined.
Add the melted butter and mix again.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for about 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Remove the dough from the refrigerator.
Spray a cookie sheet with non-stick spray.
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the cookie sheet.
Flatten the biscuits slightly with a fork.
Bake the biscuits for about 15-20 minutes.
Let them cool for a few minutes.

They’re also a forgiving recipe, so you can use just about any flour you like. I recommend using a combination of self-rising flour and cake flour.

In addition to being delicious, biscuits are a perfect make-ahead meal. You can bake the biscuits ahead of time and keep them in the fridge.
Then when you’re ready to eat, simply reheat them in a 400-degree oven until warmed.
