Old Fashioned Buttermilk Biscuits
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cake flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold
3/4 cups buttermilk, or more
Preheat the oven to 450 F; set rack in middle level.
Combine the flours, salt and baking powder in a mixing bowl and stir well
to mix. Rub in the butter by hand or with a pastry blender until the
mixture is mealy. Stir in 3/4-cup of the buttermilk with a fork and
continue stirring gently until the dough begins to hold together. (If the
dough is dry, add more buttermilk, 1 tablespoon at a time.) Sprinkle the
work surface generously with flour and scrape the dough onto it. Fold the
dough over on itself two or three times. Use the dough immediately . Pat
dough into a 6 x 12-inch rectangle and cut into eight 3-inch biscuits
with a sharp, floured knife. Transfer to a parchment-lined cookie sheet.
Paint tops with buttermilk. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, until well risen
and golden.
