Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled), plus more for rolling and cutting 2 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 2 tablespoons sugar 2 teaspoons salt 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cold, cut into bits, plus 4 tablespoons melted 1 1/2 cups low-fat buttermilk

Directions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a food processor, pulse flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt to combine. Add cold butter; pulse until mixture is the texture of coarse meal, with a few pea-size pieces of butter remaining. Add buttermilk; pulse just until dough is moistened, 2 to 3 times.

Turn dough onto a lightly floured work surface; knead just to combine (do not overwork). Roll with a floured rolling pin (or pat with hands) to a 1-inch thickness. Cut out rounds with a floured 2 1/2-inch round biscuit cutter.

Transfer to a baking sheet, 1 1/2 inches apart. (Reroll and cut scraps only once.) Brush top and sides of rounds with melted butter. Bake until biscuits are puffed and golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

   Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 2 stars       08/20/2018   The recipe above specifies that the flour should be measured by spooning and leveling. But in the video that links to this recipe, Sarah clearly is dipping and sweeping to measure the flour. Which is correct? The two measurements are very different. The Martha Stewart videos and recipes are so frustrating because they are all over the place on this. It matters. Which way should the flour be measured? And a little consistency would be helpful. Better yet, how about measurements by weight? What’s the answer here?         Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       09/08/2013   I've made this recipe before and I love how easy it is!
