Flash in the Pan

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose power
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/4 tsp. baking soda
• 2 tsp. baking powder
• 1 Tbsp. sugar
• 4 Tbsp. Sacco buttermilk powder (note, you can omit this, substituting buttermilk for the water when added in the recipe)
• 5 Tbsp. butter, cold

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Mix all dry ingredients in a large bowl.
3. Cut butter into dry ingredients until mixture resembles coarse meal.
4. Add water slowly, mixing until all dry ingredients are damp and dough loosely holds together. Dough should be wet.
5. Turn dough out onto well-floured board and knead for about 30 seconds. Instead of traditional bread kneading motion, fold dough in half, press flat, and repeat.
6. Roll dough out approximately 3/8-inch in thickness, then use biscuit cutter or cup. Take scraps, form into new ball, roll out to 3/8-inch thickness, and cut additional rounds. Place biscuit rounds on ungreased cookie sheet with at least 1-inch separation.
7. Bake biscuits for approximately 18 minutes or until golden brown.
