Paula Deen Southern Biscuits Recipe
The Paula Deen Southern Biscuits Recipe is soft, flaky and full of buttery flavor. These biscuits are perfect for breakfast or dinner. They are easy to make at home with simple ingredients.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 cup cold butter cut into cubes
- 3/4 cup buttermilk cold
- Extra flour for dusting
Instructions
Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper. This helps biscuits bake evenly and prevents sticking.
Mix Dry Ingredients
- In a large bowl, add flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Mix well using a spoon. This step ensures all dry ingredients are evenly combined.
Add Cold Butter
- Add cold butter cubes into the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or fork. Mix until it looks like crumbs. Small butter pieces help create flaky layers.
Add Buttermilk
- Slowly pour cold buttermilk into the mixture. Stir gently until dough forms. Do not overmix. The dough should be soft and slightly sticky.
Shape the Dough
- Place the dough on a floured surface. Gently press and fold it a few times. Roll it to about one-inch thickness for soft and tall biscuits.
Cut the Biscuits
- Use a biscuit cutter or glass to cut round shapes. Press straight down without twisting. This helps biscuits rise evenly during baking.
Arrange on Tray
- Place biscuits on the prepared baking tray. Keep them slightly close for soft sides or spaced apart for crispy edges.
Bake and Serve
- Bake for 12–15 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oven and serve warm. Enjoy your homemade Paula Deen Southern Biscuits Recipe.
Notes
