I got this recipe from the site that should not be named. I’ve tried countless biscuit recipes, and this is the only one that works for me 100% of the time. I use occident flour from an Amish dry goods store vs AP. The keys are very cold butter, handling as little as possible, and keeping them in the freezer beforehand for about an hour before you bake.
Ingredients:
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3 1/2 cups AP flour
1 cup cold, grated butter
1 cup buttermilk
Directions:
Mix together flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and sugar. Add the grated butter and toss. Slowly stream in milk while stirring. Turn the dough out onto a non-floured surface and knead JUST until it comes together. Roll about 1 inch thick. Cut into fours then stack them together and roll back down to one inch thickness. Repeat three times. Cut into desired size and shape. Brush with egg wash and stick in the freezer for one hour. Preheat oven to 425 F. Remove from freezer, add another coat of egg wash, and bake for about 20-25 minutes.
Notes:
Substitute 1 cup of milk and 1 tablespoon of white vinegar for buttermilk if necessary
Occident flour can be used, but folding needs reduced to 2x
Protonix doesn’t work for everyone. For me it actually made me feel worse. The only thing that fixed my ulcer was Nexium. My insurance (for whatever reason) doesn’t cover it, so I pay for it out of pocket from the Mark Cuban Cost Plus online pharmacy. It’s less than $20 for a 90 day.
