Another recipe from her cook book. Still no cake flour so more flour based recipes.
Makes: 6
Prep time: 30 minutes
Total time: 50 minutes
Ingredients:
2 2/3 cup all-purpose flour, plus more fro dusting
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 stick (4 oz) cold butter
1 cup buttermilk, or a little more if necessary, plus more for brushing
Directions:
- Preheat over to 450F
- In medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt - toss in the freezer
- Cut cold butter into dice and put in freezer
- Chill everything for at least 15 minutes
- Dump flour mixture into a food processor and pulse a couple times
- Add butter to processor and plus until butter is mixed in but still in pea-sized pieces
- Drizzle in buttermilk and add chives
- Pulse some more until mixture forms a loose, saggy dough- can add more buttermilk if needed
- Dust work station with flour
- Turn dough out onto it
- Sprinkle your hands with flour and press dough into a 6x 10 inch rectangle - really gently pat the dough- do not drag your hands through it
- Fold the dough in half and then fold in half again in the other direction until you have a 5 x 3 inch rectangle
- Re-flour hands and pat the dough into a 6 x 9 inch rectangle about 1 inch thick.
- Using a sharp knife cut dough into six 3 inch squares - try not to drag knife too much
- Transfer to a ungreased baking sheet, brush with buttermilk, and bake until tops are golden and biscuits have risen and fluffy - about 12-13 minutes
Thoughts & Tips:
- Leftovers can be enjoyed toasted
- To be saved - wrap tightly in plastic wrap and keep frozen for up to 3 months. (Thaw before toasting)
- I used my kitchen aid and I do not own a food processor
