Granny’s Biscuit Memories

Who remembers Granny’s Biscuits on Sunday mornings!

½ cup (1 stick) salted butter, grated and cold

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon granulated sugar

¼ teaspoon baking soda

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 cup buttermilk

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare a pie dish or 8×8-inch pan with non-stick spray

Grate butter using the fine edge of your grater. Grate onto parchment paper and then place in the freezer while you prepare the remaining ingredients.

Add flour, sugar, baking soda, and baking powder to a large bowl. Use a whisk to sift ingredients.

Get grated butter out of the freezer and, using a fork, incorporate into dry ingredients.

Add in the buttermilk and stir until mostly combined, being careful not to overwork the batter.

Pour contents out onto a solid surface and use your hands to push the dough together, gathering up and dry bits and pressing them into the dough. Move the dough around and add some flour underneath should your counter get sticky.

Press the dough into a flat square, about 1½ inches thick. Fold over once, press down. Fold over again, and press down. Fold over for a third time and press the dough to 1½ inches thick. (You could also make the thickness 1-inch if you want 8 biscuits.)

Using a biscuit cutter, round cookie cutter, or tall kitchen glass, press into the biscuit and place each biscuit into the prepared tin pie dish (touching). I am able to get 4 biscuits, then press the remaining dough together and get 2 more.

Bake for 23-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and there are no wet spots.

Remove from oven and brush with melted butter. Serve immediately. (If you are serving later, you can brush with more melted butter)
