No-Fail Buttermilk Biscuits

Southern food includes lots of biscuit recipes!

Biscuits and Southern food go hand in hand, and every Southern cook worth her salt has her own biscuit recipes. My favorite basic biscuit concoction is for Southern buttermilk biscuits. The buttermilk gives the dough a rich, wonderful flavor. You can use whole milk instead, but in my opinion, the biscuits won’t be nearly as good. Also, most Southerners prefer using White Lily flour for their biscuits, but if you can’t find this brand in your local area, substitute another brand. Another biscuit secret you might be interested in is to store the flour in the freezer.

Biscuit Recipe – Alton Brown’s Southern Biscuit

2 cups flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons shortening
1 cup buttermilk, chilled

This is one of my favorite biscuit recipes. Be sure not to knead the dough too much - less is better in this case. It may be a little lumpy, but that is all to the good. Hmm hmm - serve this with sausage gravy and fried eggs for an early but happy heart attack.
