I once made these fabulous biscuits and cannot find what I did with the recipe. I have been looking for a good biscuit recipe ever since. If you have one please send it to me.I made these today. Naomi's friend Laila is visiting. She is my surrogate daughter who appreciates me. Naomi wanted to go out for dinner, Laila want to stay in as she loves my cooking. This morning I asked the girls if they wanted biscuits for breakfast. Naomi said no it was OK, Laila said yes please. This is a recipe I modified from one I found online.
“Buttermilk” Biscuits made with Soured Milk
Preheat oven to 450
Ingredients
One tablespoon of either vinegar or lemon juice with milk to
equal one cup of liquid
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 cup butter chopped into small chunks
Instructions
Put lemon juice or vinegar in a measuring cup and pour in
milk to equal one cup. Set aside.
In a large bowl add flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda
and cream of tarter. Mix with a wooden
spoon.
Add the butter. Cover
your hands with the flour mixture and start rubbing your palms together mixing
the butter into the flour until it is still has some pea sized pieces but is
mostly incorporated.
Stir in the soured milk and continue stirring only until the
mixture forms a ball and begins to hold together. The dough will be fairly wet.
Turn out onto a floured surface and pat or roll out to 1/2
or 3/4 inch thick, dip your cutter (I
use plastic cup) and cut into rounds. Gently
gather up the scraps, pat them down and cut them into more rounds.
Line a cookie sheet
with parchment paper. Arrange biscuits about 1 inch apart.
Bake for 12 or 15
minutes until golden brown.
Serve with jam.
