Biscuits Cold Butter, Quick Hands
Cold Butter, Quick Hands. Biscuits rise from cold butter and baking powder, not yeast. No rise to wait on, no starter to feed.
Biscuits rise from cold butter and baking powder, not yeast. No rise to wait on, no starter to feed.
A basic buttermilk biscuit: flour, cold butter cut in until pea-sized, buttermilk added just until the dough comes together, cut and baked hot and fast.
Overworking the dough is the only real way to ruin these.
If the butter softens before it hits the oven, the layers won't form. Work fast, or chill the cut dough for ten minutes before baking.
Useful skill, kept close.
For people who want quick bakes where cold butter, light hands, and heat decide the result.
