warm biscuits + elderberry jelly

This morning I woke up wanting a fresh, warm biscuit, with Elderberry Jelly on it for breakfast!! :)

For my first attempt at making homemade buttermilk biscuits it went pretty well...

I think I made them a bit too thin, but the taste & texture turned out just how I had hoped.

So, next time I will use this same recipe & make sure that I cut them at least 1 inch thick.

Buttermilk Biscuits

Ingredients...

2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for work surface

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1  teaspoons salt

1/2 teaspoon sugar

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into pieces

1 cups buttermilk

Directions...

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside. 

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.

Transfer 2 cups flour mixture to a food processor. 

Add butter, and pulse until the largest pieces are the size of peas. 

Return butter mixture to the bowl with the flour mixture & whisk together.

Add buttermilk, and stir just until mixture comes together; the batter will be sticky. 

Transfer to lightly floured work surface; use floured fingers to pat dough to 1-inch thickness. 

Use a round biscuit cutter or cookie cutter to cut biscuits.

Gather scraps together, flatten, and cut out the rest.

Transfer biscuits to prepared baking sheet; bake until lightly browned, 18 to 20 minutes.
