Blake Makes

Hello, Blake Makers. Santa came early this year, and he brought me a Nikon D40 (Thanks, Beez!). This post is the first one featuring a photo taken with my new camera. Don’t those biscuits look heavenly? They’re a breeze to make, and taste like my mama made them.

To Make:

Sift together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tsp. baking powder, 1/2 tsp. baking soda and 1/2 tsp. salt. I actually sifted everything right into my food processor.

Next, cube 8 tblsp. of cold butter and toss into the processor. Blitz until the butter is incorporated into the flour.

Finally, with the blade turning, pour in 3/4 cup cold buttermilk and keep turning until a dough ball forms.

Turn it out on the counter, pat to about half-an-inch, and cut out the biscuits.

Flip them over (counter side up) when you put them on a greased baking sheet, and brush with a little buttermilk.

Bake at 425 for about 10 minutes.

They open like sleepy clams after they’ve baked. I smear on some butter, and drizzle a little clover honey over the situation. It’s a good day.

This recipe comes from our Gourmet Cookbook.
