Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 0.25 cup butter-flavored shortening
- 0.75 cup buttermilk
- 2 tbsp melted butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Add the butter-flavored shortening to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to incorporate the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Slowly pour in the buttermilk while stirring gently with a fork. Mix just until the dough comes together; avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits tender.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently 3–4 times to bring it together, then pat or roll the dough to a thickness of about 1/2 inch.
Use a round biscuit cutter or the rim of a drinking glass (about 2.5 to 3 inches in diameter) to cut out biscuits. Re-roll scraps as needed, taking care not to overwork the dough.
Arrange the biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet so that they are touching slightly, which helps them rise higher during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and immediately brush the tops with melted butter for a rich, buttery finish.
Serve warm and enjoy!
