COOK: Butter-Dip Biscuits

If you are looking for a good, simple, and basic biscuit recipe, you've found it! 

Butter-Dip Biscuits are great with sausage gravy, breakfast sandwiches, or KC's Chipped beef with blue cheese sauce.

These are also great with butter, honey, or jelly.  They reheat well in the oven or microwave. 

These are called "buttermilk biscuits".  I never buy buttermilk, if I can find it at the market I'd have more than I could use, so I make fake buttermilk.  (Explanation below.)

Butter-Dip Biscuits

Ingredients:

1/2 Cup Salted Butter

2 1/2 Cups Flour

1 teaspoon sugar

1 1/2 Tablespoon Baking Powder

1 1/2 teaspoon salt

1 3/4 Cup Buttermilk (Measure out 1 3/4 cups whole or 2% milk, add 1 1/2 Tablespoon white vinegar, stir and let sit about 10 minutes, now you have buttermilk substitute.)

Preparation:

Preheat over to 450 degrees.  

Melt the butter, then pour it into an 8 x 8 glass baking dish.

In a medium bowl whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Slowly add in buttermilk, mixing until everything is wet and clumpy.  

Pour dough into baking dish, the butter will run over the top, that is a good thing! 

Push the dough into the corners and try to flatten it so it's about same height throughout the pan.

Bake for 20-24 minutes, until golden on top.  

Let cool a few minutes, then cut into squares.

Store any leftovers in a zippy bag or plastic container in the fridge.
