Basic Buttermilk Biscuits

These are simple, drop-style biscuits that bake up soft and delicate with an almost cake-like texture, but are not sweet. They are ideal to serve alongside a bowl of soup or chili or in place of a roll at dinner.

directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 F and line 2 baking trays with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, sift the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, egg and oil together. Add this to the flour mixture and stir just until blended.

Step 4

Use an ice cream scoop or 2 tablespoons to drop batter (about ¼ cup each) onto the prepared baking trays, leaving 2-inches between them. Bake the biscuits for about 15 minutes until they are a light golden brown and lift away from the parchment easily.

Step 5

Serve the biscuits warm from the oven, or re-heated at 300 for 10 minutes. The biscuits are best enjoyed the day they are baked.
