Ingredients

Scale

Dough:

  • 1/4 cup warm water (125 F)
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1 package Rapid Rise Instant yeast (1/4 oz) ((2¼ teaspoons))
  • 2½ cups all-purpose flour (I prefer White Lily flour)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (chopped +more for brushing finished biscuits)
  • 1/4 cup butter-flavored shortening
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  1. Proof the Yeast: Add warm water and sugar to a glass measuring cup or bowl. Stir in the yeast. Let yeast proof while moving on the next step.
  2. Sift Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift or whisk together sugar, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt.
  3. Cut in Butter and Shortening: Using a pastry cutter, cut in butter and shortening until mixture resembles small crumbs.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Make a well in the center of the bowl and pour in the yeast mixture and buttermilk, stirring to combine just the yeast and buttermilk. Begin pushing the flour mixture into the well until everything is combined and a dough has formed.
  5. Knead and Shape: Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface. Gently knead the dough to incorporate all the crumbs until you have a soft, pliable dough. Pat the dough out into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
  6. Cut Out Biscuits: Using a floured 2.5 inch round biscuit cutter, cut out 8-10 biscuits. Place biscuits on a lightly greased pan, about 1/2 inch apart.
  7. Rise and Bake: Cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap and let rise for 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 400 F. Remove plastic wrap, brush tops with heavy whipping cream, and bake for 10-12 minutes until golden. Broil for the last minute if desired. Brush with melted butter when done.

Notes

  • Do not twist the biscuit cutter when cutting out the biscuits.
  • Be careful when broiling to prevent burning.
  • These biscuits are best served warm.
