How To Make buttermilk biscuits - food processor

• 
  Step 1
  Preheat oven to 450°F. Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl, or in the bowl of a food processor.
• 
  Step 2
  Cut the butter into chunks and cut into the flour until it resembles course meal. If using a food processor, just pulse a few times until this consistency is achieved.
• Step 3
  Add the buttermilk and mix just until combined. If it appears on the dry side, add a bit more buttermilk. It should be very wet. Turn the dough out onto a floured board.
• 
  Step 4
  Gently pat the dough out until it's about 1/2" thick. Fold the dough about 5 times, gently press the dough down to a 1 inch thick. Use a round cutter to cut into rounds.
• 
  Step 5
  If you like soft sides, place the biscuits touching each other on a lightly greased cookie sheet. If you like crunchy sides, put them about 1 inch apart these will not rise as high as the biscuits put close together. I brushed the biscuits with milk, and cracked some fresh black pepper on top. Bake for 10 - 12 minutes ( do not over bake )

  Step 6
  Enjoy with sausage gravy, jam, honey or just a slather of butter.
