Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Into large bowl, measure cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, stir until combined. With pastry blender or 2 knives used scissor-fashion, cut in shortening until evenly combined.
- Add buttermilk to flour mixture, mix together with hand just until dough forms. (Do not overmix, biscuits will be tough.)
- On lightly floured surface, pat dough into 7-inch square. Cut dough into 4 strips, then cut each strip crosswise into 4 pieces to make 16 biscuits.
- Place biscuits on ungreased large cookie sheet. Bake biscuits 12 to 15 minutes, until lightly golden. Serve biscuits warm, or cool on wire rack to serve later. Reheat before serving if you like.

THE BEST FLAKY BUTTERMILK BISCUITS
We tried several versions of this recipe, including one with double the amount of baking powder. And while the biscuits turned out puffy and beautiful, they ultimately were too dry. So, we tweaked the baking powder amount along with the butter and buttermilk and arrived at these beauties -flaky, golden, tender and moist, just as biscuits should be.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt in a medium bowl. Rub 2 tablespoons of the cold butter into the flour with your fingertips until completely absorbed. Work the remaining 8 tablespoons of cold butter into the flour with your fingertips until pea-size bits of butter remain. Use a rubber spatula to stir the buttermilk into the flour until the mixture comes together into a shaggy dough. (Don't overmix the dough.)
- Lightly flour a cutting board or work surface, turn the dough out onto it and pat into a rectangle. Fold the dough in half and pat again into a 1/2-inch-thick rectangle. Then fold the dough in thirds, as if folding a letter, and pat to an even thickness. Cut out biscuits with a 2 1/2-inch round biscuit cutter and put on the prepared baking sheet. Press together the remaining scraps of dough. Pat out and fold the dough into thirds again and cut out more biscuits. Brush the biscuit tops with buttermilk.
- Bake until the tops are lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Cool on the pan at least 5 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

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.

FEATHER LIGHT BUTTERMILK BISCUITS
These are the only biscuits my family will eat. Mile high, light, fluffy and moist, this recipe is the only one you will ever need. Just the right balance of fluffy, white center and a buttery golden bottom. We love them smothered in butter, honey or jam, right out of the oven. The ingredients in most biscuit recipes are pretty...

Steps:
- 1. Blend flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in a large bowl vigorously with a whisk. Cut butter into dry ingredients with a pastry cutter leaving pieces of butter about the size of large peas.
- 2. Put the bowl containing the flour and butter combo in the freezer for 15 minutes. *IMPORTANT* Please don't skip this step.
- 3. Pour buttermilk into a measuring cup. Add a large pinch of baking soda to the buttermilk.
- 4. After 15 minutes, take the bowl from the freezer and add 3/4 cup buttermilk. Stir just until it is mixed. Don't over-mix. Add additional buttermilk a little at a time until a stiff but sticky dough just forms. Over mixing will make them tough and dense. Leave the dough a little stickier than you think because you will be adding more flour on the counter.
- 5. Flour your counter and hands. Take dough from bowl, place on counter and fold in half, very gently, 6-8 times, no more. Be extra careful not to handle the dough very much. The dough will be rough looking, not smooth like bread dough. This is what you want.
- 6. Flatten dough gently with hands to about 1 to 1 1/2 inches high. I use a small glass, 2 1/2" in diameter. Push straight down once. Do not twist or edges will seal and they will not rise when baked. Extra dough can be patted gently back together once or twice and re-cut. *Never use a rolling pin. This is the best way to get "hockey pucks" instead of light, feathery biscuits! lol
- 7. Place on parchment lined shiny cookie sheet with sides gently touching forming a square, 3 across, 3 down.
- 8. Brush tops with milk and place on top of stove while oven is preheating. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. When preheated, bake for 11-18 minutes or until golden. Watch closely. Don't over bake. Brush lightly with melted butter when done.
FLAKY BUTTERMILK BISCUITS
I'm gonna come out and say it because you're gonna think it: these taste like Popeye's biscuits. (At least the back-in-the-day Popeye's.) Why, thank you. They do. These are what biscuits should be. They're flaky, with layers so fine they melt in your mouth. There's just enough flour and leavening to rise them up, so the fat doesn't weigh them down into greasy pucks. And there's plenty of buttermilk to keep them moist. That makes the dough sticky, so work fast and handle the dough as lightly as possible. Featherlight biscuits will be your reward.

Steps:
- Brush softened butter on a sheet pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and baking soda. Set aside.
- In a large glass measuring cup measure the buttermilk. Add the shortening. With an immersion blender on high, blend the shortening into the buttermilk until smooth.
- Using a box grater, grate the cold butter into the flour. Toss until all of the pieces are coated. Lightly pinch the butter pieces into the flour.
- Lightly coat your work surface with nonstick cooking spray, then flour. (The spray keeps the flour in place.) Add the buttermilk/shortening mixture to the flour/butter mixture. Gently mix the dough with a rubber spatula until there are no dry bits of flour left. The dough should be slightly sticky.
- Transfer dough to the prepared work surface. Lightly coat your hands with flour and gently press the dough with the palms of your hands to form it into a smooth flat rectangle, 1/2-inch thick. Sprinkle the dough with flour, then fold it into thirds (like a letter). Pat the dough out again, sprinkle with a little flour, and fold it into thirds again. Turn the dough 90 degrees (this time folding in the open ends first.) Repeat one more time. Dough should no longer be sticky.
- With a floured 2- or 2 1/2- inch biscuit cutter, cut out dough rounds. Flip the rounds over so that the smooth sides that were against the work surface face up and place on the prepared pan, 1-inch apart. Stack the scraps and press and cut again. Refrigerate until cold, about 15 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Bake until the tops are golden brown and crisp, about 16 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes before serving hot.
