Steps:
- Heat oven to 425 degrees F (218 degrees C). Rub the inside of a cast iron skillet with a bit of vegetable oil or melted shortening. This will create a deliciously crispy bottom on the biscuits. (*You can also bake these in a baking dish. See note below.)
- Cut the butter into small 1/2-inch pieces, put them on a plate or in a bowl, and pop it into the freezer for about 10 minutes. You want the butter to be very cold, but not frozen.
- Put the cake flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar in the bowl of a food processor OR in a mixing bowl. Pulse a few times to blend, OR stir with a wire whisk.
- Add the butter and pulse 3 or 4 times, just until the butter is incorporated enough for the mixture to look like coarse crumbs. Alternatively, use a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the dry ingredients. You can also just use your fingers; rub the butter into the dry ingredients just until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs. (See photos above for guidance.)
- If you've been using a food processor, dump the mixture into a mixing bowl. Set a small bowl of flour nearby just incase you need it later.
- Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the buttermilk. Use a spoon or rubber spatula to gently mix the ingredients until a shaggy dough begins to form. Then, use your hands to gently knead the dough until it holds together completely. (See notes below about under and over working the dough.)
- Dump the dough out onto a clean work surface. Pat or roll it out into a rectangle that's about 1-inch thick. If it's really sticking to the work surface, sprinkle with a bit of flour. Use only enough flour to keep the dough from sticking.
- Fold one side of the dough to the center, then fold the whole thing over again, like you're folding a letter. (See photos above for guidance.)
- Give the dough a quarter turn and roll or pat it out into a 1-inch thick rectangle again. Repeat the folding process, give the dough a quarter turn, and repeat the folding process once more.
- Roll or pat the dough back out into a 1-inch thick rectangle and use a 3 1/2-inch biscuit cutter to cut out the biscuits. As you cut them out, set them on a plate. Reroll the dough as necissary, cutting out biscuits until you have 8-10 biscuits.
- Set the plate of biscuits in the freezer for 10 minutes. Then, remove the biscuits from the plate and place them in the cast iron pan (or baking dish). Set the biscuits very close together inside the pan so that their sides are touching. This will help them rise while they bake.
- Brush the tops of the biscuits with 2 tbsp (1oz/ 28g) melted butter and place in the oven. Bake for 18-20 minutes, until their tops are golden brown. Biscuits are best served immediatly, while still warm, drizzled with honey or spread with jam.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Line a small sheet pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk flour with sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Alternatively, you can pulse everything in a food processor.
- Add the COLD cubed butter (freeze the butter beforehand). Using a pastry blender, cut the butter into smaller pieces, incorporating it with the flour until you get pea-sized pieces. You may also need to use your fingers to work the butter into the flour. If using a food processor, pulse a few times until you get pea-sized pieces.
- Gradually add the buttermilk and incorporate using a rubber spatula until you get a shaggy and crumbly dough. If using a food processor, pulse a few times until a shaggy and crumbly dough forms. The pieces of butter should be visible in the dough.
- Transfer the shaggy dough onto a working surface. Bring everything together and press the dough to form a 1-inch thick rectangle. Fold it over, from short end to short end, and press it down again to re-form a 1-inch thick rectangle. Tip: I like to transfer the dough to a large piece of parchment paper and use it to press the dough - it's much easier, less messy, and helps keep the dough cold.
- Cut into 9 biscuits using a 3-inch round biscuit cutter. Note: Do not twist the biscuit cutter as you press it down, as this can seal the edges and prevent the biscuits from rising and forming flaky layers.
- Arrange biscuits in the prepared sheet pan, about 1 inch apart (biscuits tend to rise taller when you place them close together). Brush the tops with some heavy cream. Bake at 450 degrees F for 15 to 16 minutes, or until risen and golden brown. Enjoy!

Steps:
- 1. Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- 2. Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in large bowl. Add shortening to flour mixture; break up chunks with fingertips until only small, pea-sized pieces remain. Working in batches, drop butter slices into flour mixture and toss to coat; pick up each slice of butter and press between floured fingertips into flat, nickel-sized pieces. Repeat until all butter is incorporated; toss to combine. Freeze mixture (in bowl) until chilled, about 15 minutes.
- 3. Spray work surface with nonstick cooking spray and spread spray evenly across surface with kitchen towel or paper towel. Sprinkle 1/3 cup of extra flour across sprayed surface and gently spread to form an even coat.
- 4. Add all but 2 tablespoons of buttermilk to flour mixture; stir briskly with fork until ball forms and no dry bits of flour are visible, adding remaining buttermilk as needed (dough will be sticky and shaggy but should clear sides of bowl). With rubber spatula, transfer dough onto center of prepared work surface, dust surface lightly with flour, and, with floured hands, bring dough together into cohesive ball (BUT DO NOT KNEAD).
- 5. Pat dough into approximate 10-inch square; roll into 18 by 14-inch rectangle about 1/4 inch thick, dusting dough and rolling pin with flour as needed. Using a bench scraper or thin metal spatula, fold dough into thirds, brushing any excess flour from surface; lift short end of dough and fold in thirds again to form approximate 6 by 4-inch rectangle. Rotate dough 90 degrees, dusting work surface underneath with flour; roll and fold dough again, dusting with flour as needed.
- 6. Roll dough into 10-inch square about 1/2 inch thick; flip dough and cut nine 3-inch rounds with floured biscuit cutter, dipping cutter back into flour after each cut (DO NOT TWIST CUTTER WHEN MAKING THE ROUNDS). Carefully invert and transfer rounds to ungreased baking sheet, spaced 1 inch apart. Gather dough scraps into ball; roll and fold once or twice until scraps form smooth dough. Roll dough into 1/2-inch-thick round; cut three more 3-inch rounds and transfer to baking sheet. Discard excess dough.
- 7. Brush biscuit tops with melted butter. Bake, without opening oven door, until tops are golden brown and crisp, 15 to 17 minutes. Let cool on baking sheet 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
TENDER, FLAKY, BUTTERMILK BISCUITS

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 485 degree F. Sift the dry ingredients in a medium bowl.
- 2. Slice the butter into pats and with fingers, rub the butter into the flour, until you have pieces the size of large and small peas.
- 3. Stir the buttermilk into the flour with a fork, just until the dough starts to come together. Using your hands, start kneading the dough to incorporate all of the flour. If the dough is not sticky, add more milk.
- 4. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and fold over itself 2 or 3 times ( this is what makes the layers.) Just fold and push 3 times. With your hands, pat out dough to 3/4 inch thickness. Cut out dough using a 3 inch biscuit cutter - DO NOT TWIST THE CUTTER! Twisting will seal sides, and keep biscuits from rising correctly.
- 5. Place biscuits on a greased baking sheet or cake pan, so they almost touch. Brush tops with buttermilk or melted butter.
- 6. Bake for 10 - 12 minutes or until desired brownness occurs. I turn the pan half way through baking time.
- 7. Brush the biscuits when taken from the oven and serve them hot. Enjoy with honey, butter, jam or gravy!
FLAKY TENDER BISCUITS
These biscuits are light, flaky and tender. So good with breakfast or serve them with strawberries and cream. Only mix the dough until it comes together. I cannot stress enough that this dough should not be overworked and that a light hand is needed. If you end up with a hard and doughy biscuit, you will know to mix the dough less the next time.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) and place rack in center of oven. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift or whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs (use pastry blender, two knives, or fingertips). Add the milk and slightly beaten egg and stir until just combined. (The texture should be sticky, moist and lumpy.).
- Place mixture on a lightly floured surface and knead the dough gently until it comes together and is a smooth dough.
- Roll out dough to 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) thickness. Cut out biscuits with a lightly floured round cookie cutter. Place on prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with the beaten egg and milk mixture and bake for about 10 - 15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center of the biscuit comes out clean. Remove from oven and place on a wire rack. Serve warm with butter.
- Makes about 12 3-inch (7.5 cm) biscuits.

- Place the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl or in a large food processor. Whisk or pulse until combined. Add the cubed butter and cut into the dry ingredients with a pastry cutter or by pulsing several times in the processor. Cut/pulse until coarse crumbs form. See photo above for a visual. If you used a food processor, pour the mixture into a large bowl.
- Make a well in the center of the mixture. Pour 1 cup (240ml) buttermilk and drizzle honey on top. Fold everything together with a large spoon or rubber spatula until it begins to come together. Do not overwork the dough. The dough will be shaggy and crumbly with some wet spots. See photo above for a visual.
- Pour the dough and any dough crumbles onto a floured work surface and gently bring together with generously floured hands. The dough will become sticky as you bring it together. Have extra flour nearby and use it often to flour your hands and work surface in this step. Using floured hands or a floured rolling pin, flatten into a 3/4 inch thick rectangle as best you can. Fold one side into the center, then the other side. Turn the dough horizontally. Gently flatten into a 3/4 inch thick rectangle again. Repeat the folding again. Turn the dough horizontally one more time. Gently flatten into a 3/4 inch thick rectangle. Repeat the folding one last time. Flatten into the final 3/4 inch thick rectangle.
