Another tender, family pleasing biscuit! Gone are the days I make biscuits with a pastry cutter. So time consuming. They turn out just as wonderful using my food processor. Enjoy!

How To Make ~ fluffy buttermilk biscuits ~

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 485 degree F. Lightly butter a 9 inch iron skillet or round baking pan. Set aside. In bowl of a food processor, add flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Pulse a couple times. To this add cubed butter and pulse 6 - 8 times or until resembles small peas. Pulse in the milk, dough will be somewhat sticky.
  • Step 2
    Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, sprinkling with enough flour that it won't stick as you fold the dough over itself 2 or 3 times. Just fold and push with heel of hands 3 times. With your hands, pat out dough to 3/4 inch thickness. Cut out dough using a 3 inch cutter. Don't twist cutter!
  • Step 3
    Place in prepared pan, touching slightly. Brush tops with more buttermilk.
  • Step 4
    Bake 10 - 12 minutes, or until golden, turning pan halfway through baking time. Serve hot with butter, jam, gravy or honey!
