Herb Buttermilk Biscuits Recipes

BUTTERMILK-HERB BISCUITS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. In medium bowl, mix flour, baking powder, herbs, salt and baking soda. Cut in shortening, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions), until mixture looks like fine crumbs. Stir in buttermilk until dough leaves side of bowl (dough will be soft and sticky).
• On lightly floured surface, lightly knead dough 10 times. Roll or pat dough about 1 inch thick. Cut with floured 2-inch cutter. On ungreased cookie sheet, place biscuits about 1 inch apart. Brush with butter.
• Bake 14 to 16 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheet. Serve warm.

TENDER HERB BUTTERMILK BISCUITS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450F.
• Pulse the flour, baking powder, and baking soda in the bowl of a food processor. Add the herbs and pulse a few more times to distribute them through the mix.
• Add the butter and process until the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal and there are no large lumps of butter left, about 6 1-second pulses.
• Add the buttermilk and pulse a few times, until the dough gathers into clumps. Scrape the biscuit dough out onto a lightly floured board.
• Pat the dough into a circle or oblong shape at an even 1 inch high.
• Grease a 2 inch biscuit cutter with butter and then coat it with flour. (Make a little hill of flour next to your biscuit dough.)
• Punch down with the cutter into dough with one decisive press down (no twisting!) and then straight up. Move the biscuit to a baking sheet. Continue punching out biscuits, cutting them as close together as possible and dipping the cutter into that hill of flour in between each cut.
• Now take the scraps of dough and pat them together into a new 1 inch high oblong. Punch out as many more biscuits as you can.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly browned and puffed.

HERB BUTTERMILK BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, thyme, savory, kelp, parsley, and basil in a large bowl.
• Cut in the butter with a knife or pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Drizzle the buttermilk slowly over the flour mixture while tossing lightly with a fork, just until the flour mixture is moistened. Turn the dough out onto a floured board, and knead 4 to 5 times. Pat the dough into a circle, 3/4 inch thick, and cut biscuits with a 2 inch cookie cutter. Place biscuits 2 inches apart on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 8 minutes. Serve warm.

MUSTARD-HERB BUTTERMILK BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda for 30 seconds. Toss butter into dry mixture to evenly coat, then press between your fingers to create flower-petal shapes and return to bowl. Stir in herbs.
• Whisk mustard into buttermilk, then slowly drizzle over flour-butter mixture (to evenly distribute) while stirring with a fork. Stop stirring when dough begins to form but mixture is still crumbly. Transfer to center of a parchment-lined baking sheet. Gather dough with your hands, pressing firmly to bind, and flatten it into a 6-by-10-inch rectangle. Lift parchment along a short end of dough and fold in half, forming a 6-by-5-inch rectangle. Turn dough 90 degrees; gently reflatten to 6 by 10 inches. Fold in half again and flatten slightly into a 6-inch square.
• To keep things easy, form the dough on the same tray it's baked on. Cut it into thirds in both directions with a large, sharp knife, to form 9 biscuits. Brush tops with buttermilk. Bake until puffed, golden brown on top, and hollow-sounding when tapped on bottom, 16 to 18 minutes. Transfer to a kitchen towel-lined basket; cover to keep warm. Serve with mustard and ham.

HERBED BUTTERMILK BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F.
• In a food processor, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and herbs. Pulse 2-3 times to combine. Scatter butter over dry ingredients and pulse 5-6 times or until the mixture looks like coarse meal. Do not overmix. Add the buttermilk and again pulse until it just begins to come together.
• Dump dough onto a lightly floured surface and shape into a large rectangle approximately 3/4-inch thick. Using a 3-inch round cutter, cut out biscuits and place onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Press together scraps of dough and continue cutting out rounds until all the dough is used up. Don't mess with the dough too much, work quickly as you don't want to warm it up too much.
• Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Brush tops with melted butter.

BUTTERMILK HERB BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk together 4 cups flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt. Using a pastry cutter, cut shortening into dry ingredients until texture resembles rolled oats. Add herbs and remaining 2 cups flour; gently toss to combine. Cover with plastic wrap, and chill in refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.
• Make a well in center of chilled mixture. Pour in buttermilk, and stir in quickly with your hands or a large spoon until just combined. It does not matter if there are bits of unincorporated flour left in the bowl.
• Turn mixture out onto a lightly floured work surface, and divide in two. Shape dough lightly into rough rectangles. Place one piece on top of the other. Transfer right onto a nonstick baking mat-lined baking sheet, preferably without sides. Roll dough out quickly and gently, being careful to not overwork dough. Pat edges to make them straight. Cut into 2-inch square pieces.
• Brush tops with heavy cream. Bake until golden, 20 to 25 minutes; cover with parchment paper-lined foil if browning too quickly. Place sheets on wire racks to cool.

• Turn dough out onto a heavily floured surface (dough will be sticky), and knead lightly 5 times with floured hands. Roll dough to a 1/2-inch thickness; cut into 10 biscuits with a 3-inch biscuit cutter.
• Place on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake at 425° for 12 minutes or until golden.
