Here is a easy buttermilk biscuits recipe anyone can make. Since I had made some butter the other day I still had the half quart of buttermilk sitting in the fridge, so I figured I better use it before it goes bad, so I assembled my ingredients, buttermilk, flour, kosher salt, butter, baking powder, sugar
I dumped 5 cups of flour, a quarter cup of sugar, 1 tbsp of kosher salt and a quarter cup of baking powder in a bowl and mixed well
I set my cheese grater on the bowl
and took a half pound of butter and grated about 2/3rds of it into the bowl
I stirred it well and then used my hands to really incorporate the butter into the flour, squeezing any large pieces
I dumped it the half quart of buttermilk I had
and stirred it up into a stiff dough
I floured up my cutting board
and dumped the dough out and formed a 10×8 rectangle roughly
I cut it into 8 pieces
and set them on a lined sheet tray about 2 inches apart
I preheated the oven to 400 degrees and set the biscuits in the oven, I then put the last third of butter in a saucepan with a 1/3 cup of honey
I turned the saucepan on low and let the butter melt
after 20 minutes I pulled the biscuits out of the oven and brushed them with the butter
I stuck them back in the oven and 8-10 minutes later they were done
luckily there was just enough of the honey butter to test one, mmmm, I should make strawberry shortcake with them
