Southern Buttermilk Biscuit

Southern buttermilk biscuit-like any other biscuits involves using very cold buttermilk and butter while preparing it. Also, to achieve the layers in the biscuits ensure you fold your dough several times and do this as quickly as possible.

Southern buttermilk biscuit is prepared with flour, cold buttermilk, cold butter, baking powder, baking soda amongst other ingredients. Make sure your baking powder and soda are not expired. As mentioned earlier work as fast as possible. I grated my cold butter then freeze it for a few minutes before using it this is to ensure that my butter is very cold. If you follow all these instructions be assured to get good and soft biscuits.
