This is the recipe for the biscuits I made with the seafood chowder in yesterday's post. I used the technique of grating the butter with a grater, as I learned in the pastry recipe for that no-bake pumpkin pie I made around Thanksgiving last month. It worked like a charm! These biscuits were wonderful. I have no idea where I got this recipe from, but I've had it for a long time. As I mentioned yesterday, I used some lemon pepper in them for a bit of zip.Buttermilk Biscuits
2 cups flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup butter
1 cup buttermilk
1. Whisk together dry ingredients. Grate the butter into the mixture & toss to combine. Add buttermilk and mix just enough to blend together. Do not overmix!2. Roll or pat dough to desired thickness - anywhere from 1/2" - almost 1" (but be aware that the thicker you pat the dough, the longer these will take to cook through). Cut. Bake at 425F until done.

The lemon pepper must have added nice flavor, perfect companion to that delicious chowder Im still thinking about.
Mmmm, I'd love one right out of the oven and slathered with butter!
Thanks so much for this recipe W, also the tip on grating the butter...i guess that is the trick for a flakier biscuit ?... Need to find some lemon pepper in time for next week....I also love the shape of these...since i don't have a biscuit cutter you have saved me from a world of confusion : ) ...
well crap... I had my first biscuit recipe all picked out for T-day and now this beauty comes up. I love the look of this! Thanks for these tips, excellent well timed post, even if I am very confused as to what to do...
any reason I couldn't add sharp cheddar cheese and top with chopped garlic?
They are beautiful and look so good!
