Ingredients
- 1 cup cold Clover 1% Cultured Low Fat Buttermilk
- 1 stick (8 tablespoons) Clover Organic Unsalted Sweet Cream Butter
- 2 cups organic all purpose flour (+ a handful more for kneading)
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¾ teaspoon table salt
Directions
- 1Preheat oven to 475°F and adjust oven rack to center position. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2Pour buttermilk into a glass measuring cup and put in the freezer for 10 minutes while prepping other ingredients.
- 3Place butter in a microwave safe bowl. Cover with a paper towel to prevent spattering and heat on high for 30 seconds. If not completely melted, continue to microwave in 10 second intervals until melted. Set aside to cool.
- 4In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt).
- 5Remove chilled buttermilk from the freezer and slowly add the melted butter while stirring with a fork. You will see small clumps of butter dispersed through the liquid.
- 6Add the buttermilk mixture to the dry ingredients and blend with a rubber spatula just until all the flour is incorporated and the batter pulls away from the sides of the bowl. The dough should be stiff and not too wet. *If needed you can mix in more flour, 1 tablespoons at a time, until the dough is fairly stiff.
- 7Generously flour a pastry cloth. Place the biscuit dough in the center of the cloth and turn to coat all surfaces with flour.
- 8Knead 5-6 times (about 30 seconds).
- 9Coat the dough lightly with flour then pat into a circle about 1½-2-inches in height. Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to score the dough into eight equal pie wedges.
- 10Transfer the biscuits to the lined sheet pan, spacing about 1½ inches apart.
- 11Place on the center rack of the oven and bake about 10-15 minutes until tops are golden brown. (start checking them after 10 minutes as oven temperatures may vary). Do not over bake.
- 12Serve and enjoy!
