Ingredients for Grandma’s Legacy Biscuits:
- 2 1/2 cups self-rising flour
- 2 1/2 teaspoons sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 stick butter, frozen
- 1 to 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
How to Make Grandma’s Legacy Biscuits:
- Begin by combining the dry ingredients in a medium bowl, setting the stage for the nostalgic flavors to unfold.
- Grate the frozen butter swiftly over the dry ingredients, ensuring it stays as cold as Grandma’s wisdom. Toss the butter into the mixture with a fork, leaving no room for large clumps.
- Pour in 1 cup of buttermilk and delicately stir with a fork, gradually adding more buttermilk until a moist dough forms—each step, a whisper from Grandma’s recipe book.
- Transfer the dough onto a generously floured board, handling it with the same care Grandma would. Knead as little as possible to create a smooth dough. Gently pat the dough to a thickness of 1/2-1 inch, a nod to Grandma’s artistry. Cut with a biscuit cutter and place them in a well-buttered 9×13-inch pan, ensuring the sides of the biscuits touch—a ritual that ensures the biscuits rise together.
- As the biscuits take their rightful place in the oven preheated to 450°F, let the aroma fill your kitchen, evoking memories of Grandma’s culinary embrace. After 12 minutes, turn the pan around for another 6 minutes of baking. As the biscuits emerge, golden and fragrant, brush their tops with butter—anointing them with the final touch of Grandma’s love.
