• Add buttermilk; stir just until mixture forms soft dough.
• Place dough on lightly floured surface; sprinkle lightly with additional flour. Roll into 1/2-inch-thick rectangle; fold crosswise in half. Repeat rolling and folding 3 more times.
• Roll dough into 8x6-inch rectangle; cut into 12 squares. Place, 1/2 inch apart, on baking sheet.
• Bake 12 to 15 min. or until golden brown. Melt remaining butter; brush onto tops of biscuits. Cool slightly.

CALLIE'S CHARLESTON BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Have an ungreased baking sheet ready.
• Place the self-rising flour in a large mixing bowl. Use 2 forks or your fingers to cut in the cream cheese and butter, making sure not to overwork the dough; there should be small chunks and some loose flour. Make a well in the center of the mixture and add the buttermilk, gradually incorporating it into the flour. (The dough will be wet.)
• Pat a little all-purpose flour on the top of the dough, then flip it out onto a floured surface, floured-side down. Flour the top of the dough lightly; that will make it easy to roll out but keep it moist inside. Lightly pat or roll out the dough to a 1 1/2-inch thickness (do not overwork it or the biscuits will be tough).
• Use a 2-inch biscuit cutter or a similarly sized drinking glass to cut out biscuits, cutting them as close together as possible. (The key to good biscuits is to avoid having to knead or roll out the dough too many times.) Arrange the biscuits on the baking sheet so that they are just touching. Roll out the leftover dough into a rope and outline the exposed outer edge of the biscuits, binding them together to stop the biscuits from spreading and creating a wonderful rise while baking. Brush the tops with the melted butter.
• Put the biscuits in the oven, then immediately turn the oven down to 400 degrees F and bake for 10 minutes. Rotate the pan, then bake until golden brown, an additional 6 to 10 minutes. Serve warm with spreads such as Savory Thyme Butter, blackberry jam or cream cheese.
• Combine butter, green onion, thyme, garlic and some salt and pepper in a bowl with a rubber spatula, or whip with a handheld mixer.
• Transfer to a ramekin, cover with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator, or roll into a log in plastic wrap and freeze until ready to use.

BUTTERMILK CHEDDAR BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Place 2 cups of flour, the baking powder, and salt in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. With the mixer on low, add the butter and mix until the butter is the size of peas.
• Combine the buttermilk and egg in a small measuring cup and beat lightly with a fork. With the mixer still on low, quickly add the buttermilk mixture to the flour mixture and mix only until moistened. In a small bowl, mix the Cheddar with small handful of flour and, with the mixer still on low, add the cheese to the dough. Mix only until roughly combined.
• Dump out onto a well-floured board and knead lightly about 6 times. Roll the dough out to a rectangle 10 by 5 inches. With a sharp, floured knife, cut the dough lengthwise in half and then across in quarters, making 8 rough rectangles. Transfer to a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with the egg wash, sprinkle with salt, if using, and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the tops are browned and the biscuits are cooked through. Serve hot or warm.

• Combine flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and garlic powder in a bowl. Whisk to combine.
• Dice the cold butter up into chunks, and cut it into the dry mixture with your fingers, a fork, or a pastry cutter, until the mixture resembles coarse sand, and butter is well blended in. Stir in cheese and ham, gently stirring to evenly coat all the cheese and ham pieces with the flour mixture.
• Use a fork and stir in 1 cup buttermilk. If the mixture is still dry, add a little more liquid at a time until the dough just comes together (it should be a little bit sticky, but not "wet").
• Shape dough into a ball by hand, handling the dough gently. Then pat the dough out on a lightly floured surface to 1/2- to 3/4-inch thickness. Use a small biscuit cutter to cut 12 to 15 biscuits out, and arrange them on a baking sheet with sides just barely touching.
• Bake in the preheated oven until just golden brown around the edges/tops/bottoms and cooked through in the center, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Cool briefly on the baking sheet before moving to a platter or cooling rack. Best served warm!
