How to make BEST BUTTERMILK BISCUITS FROM SCRATCH / 3 INGREDIENTS

all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

Whole wheat flour is more nutritious.

buttermilk

🥗Healthier: low-fat yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk with vinegar

Low-fat yogurt is lower in calories, and milk with vinegar is a budget-friendly substitute.

Make a well in the center of a bowl of self-rising flour.

Add about 1/4 cup of Crisco butter-flavored shortening into the well.

Prepare homemade buttermilk by adding 1 tablespoon of white vinegar to a measuring cup, then fill it with whole milk to make 1 cup.

Pour the homemade buttermilk into the well with the shortening.

Mix the buttermilk and shortening together, allowing flour to fall into the mixture from the sides.

Gently mix the dough with your fingers to keep it fluffy, avoiding overmixing.

Dust a surface with flour and turn the dough out onto it.

Gently push down the dough, being careful not to dry it out.

Rub a little shortening on a cast iron griddle or use a cookie sheet.

Use a biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits, placing them close but not touching on the griddle.

Press together any leftover dough to cut out additional biscuits.

Preheat the oven to 500°F (260°C) and bake the biscuits for 15 minutes.

Prepare honey butter by mixing about 1 tablespoon of butter with a squirt of honey.

After baking, brush the tops of the biscuits with the honey butter.
