Jen LeBow’s Dinner Biscuits

Jen LeBow’s Dinner Biscuits

This is a great, quick recipe for those nights when you decide at 5:00 pm that you want some biscuits with dinner–no yeast that has to rise, no refrigeration of dough required.   You just mix up the few simple ingredients, roll out the dough (I don’t even bother with a rolling pin; I just flatten it with my hands) and grab a biscuit cutter and stamp these out.  They bake in around 15 minutes and are very flakey and great with butter or jam.

 

Preheat to 400 degrees.

In food processor, combine:

2 cups flour

1 T sugar

2 t baking powder

¼ t salt

 

Cut in and mix til coarse crumbs form:

11 T butter

 

Add and combine:

½ cup buttermilk

Note:  if you don’t want to buy buttermilk, just reduce the amount of milk by 1 ½ t (1/2 T) and replace that same amount of liquid with white vinegar.  Voila: buttermilk!

Roll out dough to around ¼” thickness and use biscuit cutter (or just a sharp knife to shape biscuits). Place biscuits on a cookie sheet and bake at 400 degrees around 12-14 minutes.  Makes around 10, depending on size of biscuits.
