Buttermilk Biscuits

Makes 8

Ingredients

2 cups White Lily® Enriched Unbleached Flour

1/4 cup butter or shortening

3/4 cup buttermilk or 2/3 cup milk

2 tablespoons butter, melted

Instructions

Heat oven to 475°F.

Place flour in a large bowl. Using a pastry cutter or fork, work butter or shortening into flour until crumbs are the size of peas. Add buttermilk, stir with fork just until flour is moistened and the dough leaves the side of the bowl.

Turn dough onto lightly floured surface. Pat out the dough with your fingers or a rolling pin  until about 1 inch thick. Cut out biscuits using a floured 2-inch biscuit cutter or the rim of a cup. Place biscuits on a baking sheet where the edges touch. Reform the scrap dough to make additional biscuits. 

Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven. Brush tops with butter and enjoy.
