Faux Buttermilk Biscuits You Can Make Now

Published on March 8, 2011 By Emily. Updated on March 8, 2011

In preparing my Creamy Rutabaga and Potato Soup, I decided some sort of biscuit would be nice as a side.  I generally have 2 problems when making last minute biscuits: having all the ingredients and the state of the butter.  Luckily, I had all but one of the ingredients for this recipe and it uses used frozen butter.  No buttermilk?  No problem.

These biscuits come together quickly and easily.  I was really impressed by the texture and flavor of these “buttermilk” biscuits; they’ll certainly be making more appearances on our table in the future.

Faux Buttermilk Biscuits

Adapted from The Kitchn

1 and 3/4 cups all purpose flour, plus 1 tablespoon
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
I stick frozen unsalted butter
3/4 cup milk + 3/4 tablespoon vinegar, combined and allowed to sit for 5 minutes

1. Preheat oven to 450°F.  Line the bottom and sides of an 8″x8″ pan with parchment paper.

2. In the bowl of your food processor, add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, sugar and salt.  Pulse a couple times to combine.

3. Quarter the stick of butter long ways and then cut it into cubes.  Add the cubes to the food processor.

4.  Pulse food processor 10-15 times until the flour/butter mixture forms coarse crumbs.

5. Move the flour/butter mixture into a separate bowl.  Add the faux buttermilk all at once and mix until evenly combined and the dough forms a ball.

6.  Move the dough ball onto a floured surface and shape gently to form a roughly 8″x8″ square.

7.  Using a long, sharp knife, cut the dough into a 3×3 grid.  Transfer the squares to the baking dish.  It’s okay if they don’t fit perfectly; they’ll expand as they bake.

8. Bake biscuits for 10-12 minutes,  until tops are golden brown. Remove from dish and serve.

9.  Enjoy!

Despite the cool temperatures and wet weather, we Despite the cool temperatures and wet weather, we had another fantastic year at @freshgrassfestival. I can never get over how, in addition to all the incredible music, the event features a great venue (@massmoca), delicious food from mostly local vendors, a great local beer tent and bar stocked with @berkshiremtdist and a kid-friendly atmosphere including a @kidspacemm art tent.
Shout-out to some of my favorite acts of the day @ajleebluesummit, @cj_field with @gregcaproni and @theblacklegacyproject.

Looking forward to next year!
