Featherlight Biscuits

 

 

Biscuits can be tricky.  Two important tips:  preheat the oven to 450F and don't work the dough more than necessary.  It is very important to remember that any dough you work with your hands is affected by the heat in your hands. 

 

 

Recipe:

 

2 cups of self-rising flour



1 stick of butter at room temperature

dash of salt

3/4 cup of buttermilk

1/2 cup of peccarino romano cheese (or any other cheese you like)

 

Cut butter into flour using two knives or a pastry cutter.  Add remaining ingredients (use a little more milk or cream if needed).  Turn dough onto surface, roll out and cut eight biscuits.  Place biscuits on an unbuttered baking sheet.  Bake for ten minutes or until golden brown.
