Homemade Buttermilk And Cheddar Biscuits

David Murphy
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes
Serving Size 12

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 Cups of Unbleached All Purpose Flour
  • 2 Teaspoons of Salt
  • 2 Teaspoons of Baking Powder
  • 1/2 Cup of Crisco I prefer Butter flavored
  • 1 Cup of Mild Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • 1 1/4 Cup of Buttermilk more or less
  • 1 Stick of Salted Butter Melted

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 Degrees F.
  • In a large bowl, add in your flour, salt and baking powder. With a fork, stir the flour mixture around to try to even out the ingredients throughout.
  • Make a divot in the middle of the flour, and add in your Crisco. Then with your hand or a fork (I used a fork), mix the crisco and flour together until you get it thoroughly mixed. You will wind up with a bowl full of tiny little flour & crisco beads.
  • Make a divot and add in your cheese and buttermilk.
  • Start mixing it all together with your fork (or hand).
  • By the time that you're done, you should wind up with a somewhat tacky dough.
  • On a slight greased cookie tray, start forming your biscuits! Here's how you do it. You want pinch about a slightly bigger portion than a golf ball off from the dough. Roll in your hands and then flatten to make a biscuit form and then place on tray. You should wind up with just a little about a baker's dozen. Of course, you can always make your biscuits bigger, if you wish, in order to make just a dozen.
  • Bake for approximately 12 - 15 minutes, or until nice and lightly browned on top.
  • Pull your biscuits out of the oven and, with a pastry brush, start spreading your melted butter on top until they're all drenched in butter.
