Equipment

  • Bowl
  • Measuring cups
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Fork
  • Dough Scraper
  • Spatula
  • Rolling Pin
  • Round Cutter
  • Baking Tray
  • Silicon Mat or Parchment Paper
  • Pastry Brush

Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/2 cups All Purpose Flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon Active Dry Yeast
  • 3 tablespoons Granulated Sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 2 tablespoons Warm Water
  • 3/4 cups Buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup Shortening
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 tablespoons Melted Butter

Instructions
 

  • Add the dry yeast to warm water along with half the sugar in a medium sized bowl and keep it aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and line the baking tray with a silicon mat and keep aside.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the flour, the rest of the sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  • Add the butter to the flour and start cutting it into the dough with a fork or pastry cutter. Once the butter is all mixed in, the flour should resemble the texture of sand.
  • Once the flour reaches the desired consistency, add in the yeast mixture and the buttermilk and mix the dough just until it stops sticking to the sides of the bowl.
  • Once the dough stops sticking to the sides of the bowl, transfer it to a clean, dusted surface and knead it lightly about 20-25 times.
  • Once you are done kneading the dough, roll it out until it is 1/2 inch thick.
  • Dust the round cutter with flour and start cutting out biscuits and placing them on the baking tray lined with a silicon mat.
  • Collect the scraps and roll the dough out again to cut out more biscuits.
  • Place the baking tray in the preheated oven and bake the biscuits for 12-15 minutes, until they have golden brown tops.
  • Once they are done, take them out of the oven and brush the tops with melted butter. Either serve hot or store for later!
