BUTTERMILK BISCUITS: RELOADED

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450ºF.
• In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Working quickly (so the fats don't melt), use your fingertips to rub the lard and butter into the dry mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
• Make a well in the center of the dry mixture and pour in the chilled buttermilk. Stir with a wooden spoon until the dough just begins to come together. It will be very sticky. While it's still in the bowl, fold the dough over on itself two times so that it picks up any remaining flour, and then turn it out onto a lightly floured work surface.
• Dust the top of the dough with flour and, with floured hands, gently fold the dough over itself eight more times, turning one quarter turn between each folding motion. Press dough into a 1-inch-thick round. Cut out biscuits with a floured 2 1/2-inch cutter, being sure to press straight down through the dough without twisting. Flour the cutter between cuts.
• Center biscuits on a baking sheet, shoulder to shoulder, so that they just touch. Reform scrap dough, working it as little as possible, and continue cutting until you have 8 biscuits total.
• Bake for 10 minutes. Rotate the pan 180 degrees in the oven and continue baking until tall and lightly gold on top, 8 to 12 more minutes.
• Remove the biscuits to a bowl lined with a clean kitchen towel and fold towel over to preserve warmth and steam. Serve with butter and jam, or mustard and thin-cut ham, or sausage patties or just... eat them.

• Grate your butter using a cheese grater and stir into the flour mixture OR cut butter into small pieces and use a pastry cutter to cut the fat into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal or sand.
• Gradually pour in the buttermilk or milk, stirring until the dough just comes together.
• Turn the dough out onto a clean countertop and form it into a ball.
• Press the dough flat until it is 1-inch thick. Use a circle biscuit cutter or a drinking glass to cut out your biscuits. Combine leftover scraps and continue re-pressing and cutting until all dough is used.
• Place cut biscuits on an un-greased baking sheet and bake at 425 degrees for about 12-15 minutes, until the tops are nicely browned. Brush the tops with melted butter, if desired.

BONNIE'S OLD FASHIONED BISCUITS

Steps:

• Before you begin, make sure all ingredients are ice cold, and make the biscuits quickly and get them into the oven before they heat up. That is the secret of a tall and flaky biscuit. Of course, not handling them too much and the addition of cream of tartar is important, too. I use a parchment lined 9X13 metal baking pan for my biscuits. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Bake about 15 minutes until golden brown or a little darker, like mine. This recipe makes 6 large biscuits.
• # Flour a cutting board. # Mix the dry ingredients together in a large bowl. # Mix the egg with the buttermilk in a small bowl, and keep it in the fridge. # Use a pastry cutter to cut the ice cold grated butter into the dry ingredients until it is the size of a pea. You will see little "peas" of butter in the flour. (just like you do when making pie crusts) # Now add the cold milk and egg mixture to the flour and butter. # Gently mix it quickly with a wooden spoon, (over handling makes biscuits tough.) # Turn out on the floured cutting board, and flour your hands. # Knead lightly, and pat the dough with your hands to a thickness of one inch. # Cut with a large biscuit cutter. # Place biscuits in the parchment lined pan. Bake about 15 minutes in the hot oven, and brush tops with butter before serving. Enjoy!
