Buttermilk Drop Biscuits

Recipe Added:  11/20/2011
2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
1 tsp sugar
¾ tsp salt
1 cup buttermilk, chilled
8 Tbsp butter, melted
Heat oven to 475°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment or a Silpat liner. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients. In a 2-cup liquid measure, stir together the chilled buttermilk and butter, melted until the butter forms small clumps. Stir the buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture with a rubber spatula just until the ingredients are incorporated and the mixture slightly pulls away from the edges of the bowl.

Using a greased ¼-cup measure, scoop out mounds of the dough and drop them onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 1 ½ inches apart. Bake the biscuits until the tops are golden brown and crisp, 12 to 14 minutes. Remove from the oven, brush with additional butter, melted. Serve warm.

Notes
Buttermilk Substitute: . Place 1 Tablespoon white vinegar into a liquid measuring cup. Add enough milk to bring the liquid up to the one-cup line. Let stand for five minutes then use as called for in recipe.
