Hi, Rebeca. I got the recipe I use off a YouTube channel. It makes 16 biscuits (I use a 2-inch biscuit cutter.) We usually split the biscuits so that there are 6 left out to snack on and 10 get vacuum sealed in pairs to take out for reheating when one of us wants a snack. The YouTube guy didn't freeze his butter, but I do because it is hot in Hawaii, and the butter melts when I get it straight from the fridge because I use my fingers to do the pastry blending. The freezing buys me some time.
4 cups all-purpose flour 1 Tbsp baking powder* 1 tsp. baking soda 1 tsp salt 1 Tbsp. sugar 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, cubed and frozen for 30 mins 1-1/2 cups buttermilk Note: Buttermilk substitute = 2/3 cup plain yogurt plus 1/3 cup milk for 1 cup buttermilk 1 cup yogurt plus 1/2 cup milk equals 1-1/2 cup buttermilk *Baking powder substitute in this recipe equals: 1 tsp. baking soda 3/8 teaspoon salt 1-1/2 tsp. cream of tartar Cannot make baking powder substitute ahead of time and keep for later use. Combine flour, salt, sugar, baking soda, and baking powder. Cube butter in to 1/2-inch pieces. Cut butter in to flour mixture--pea-sized pieces. Pour in milk, fold in till just moistened; add a little bit of milk if necessary to moisten. Lightly flour work surface; pat dough out to 1/2-inch thickness; cut in to biscuits between 2 and 3 inches. Put on baking sheet lined with parchment paper; place with sides touching. Brush with buttermilk or melted butter. Slide in to preheated 425dg oven, bake for 15 mins.
