Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 2 cups | Flour |
| 2 tsp | Baking powder |
| 1/4 tsp | Baking soda |
| 1/4 tsp | Salt |
| 1 tsp | Sugar |
| 3 tbsp | Margarine |
| 1 cup | Buttermilk |
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and coat a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
-
-
Prepare Dry Ingredients: In the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Pulse for about 2 seconds until well mixed.
-
Incorporate Margarine: Add the margarine pieces to the dry ingredients in the food processor. Pulse for approximately 8 seconds until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Be cautious not to overprocess.
-
Transfer Mixture: Transfer the mixture from the food processor to a mixing bowl. Alternatively, you can cut the margarine into the flour using a pastry blade, two forks, or your fingertips.
-
Add Buttermilk: Stir the buttermilk into the dry ingredients using a fork, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough biscuits.
-
Form Biscuits: Once the biscuit dough holds together, drop it by large spoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet. Ensure to leave some space between each biscuit to allow for spreading while baking.
-
Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are puffy and lightly browned on top.
-
Serve: Remove the biscuits from the oven and serve them immediately while still warm. These biscuits are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to a few days.
