This past weekend I went home to Georgia to visit my family, and my mom sent me back with some homemade muscadine jelly (from her own grape vines) that she had canned. Now, I have to give props to my mom- she raised 6 kids, homeschooled us, and taught us all how to cook. I would not know what to do in the kitchen if it wasn't for her.
Since Monday, I have been craving some biscuits so I could have a vehicle for that jelly. So this morning, I looked on Pinterest and whipped up some. Like always, I tweaked the recipe a little. Enjoy!
Sadly, I do not have the jelly recipe.
Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour (plus more for dusting)
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 tbs baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
6 tbs salted butter, cold
1 cup buttermilk or milk with 1 tsp lemon juice
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- In a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients and whisk.
- Cut butter into small chunks and mix into dry ingredients until it resembles small pea sized crumbs.
- Add half of buttermilk to mixture and stir. Add a little at a time until dough is very wet (you made need less or more than a cup).
- Turn dough out onto a floured board and sprinkle flour on top of dough.
- flatten out dough and fold over 5-6 times. Add flour as needed.
- Gently pat out dough to 1 inch thickness and use a round cookie cutter to cut out biscuits. Ball up dough and flatten to 1 inch and cut more biscuits until all dough is used.
- Place cut biscuit dough on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 9-10 minutes or until edges are browned.
