To make ahead, freeze the cutout biscuits in plastic bags. Bake frozen, increasing cooking time to 45–55 minutes.
Ingredients
Makes 8
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°F. Pulse baking powder, salt, sugar, baking soda, and 5 1/2 cups flour in a food processor. Add butter and pulse until the texture of coarse meal with a few pea-size pieces of butter remaining.
Step 2
Transfer mixture to a large bowl. Mix in buttermilk with a fork, then gently knead just until a shaggy dough comes together.
Step 3
Pat out dough on a lightly floured surface until 1 1/4" thick. Cut out biscuits with a 3" biscuit cutter, rerolling scraps once.
Step 4
Place biscuits on a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush tops with egg. Bake until golden brown, 30–35 minutes.

Back to TopSugar biscuits? Gross. Other than that, a standard recipe.

These were flaky, flavorful and delicious. I made them in two batches in the food processor, and added 1 cup of grated sharp Cheddar cheese, and cut the salt to 1 teaspoon. This yielded 8 biscuits, and they were very large, but impressive.

Perfect flakey and savory biscuits. Cut the salt about by 1/2. Made 1/2 recipe and obtained 8 3in biscuits.

I have been making my grandmother's biscuits for years, and while these are close, they're even better. I needed a bit more buttermilk than the recipe called for, and I agree, it makes more than 8 biscuits, but other than that, it was great. The food processor tip was so helpful. I even made these gluten-free and they were devoured in no time.

This recipe came at a perfect time. We have spent the winter trying out biscuit recipes. This was the best by far. Perfect. The ingredients did not fit completely in my food processor the first time i made it, so i divided the flour mixture and butter into two batches. These are supposed to be big. They are designed to hold a meal in between them. I used a 3 inch biscuit cutter and got about 11 biscuits. The second time i made them I cut the ingredients in half and made the biscuits smaller. They were just as good, and the perfect size to enjoy with butter and honey.

我犯了一个错误的选择这个新配方biscuits. What an unmanageable glob! 5 1/2 cups flour makes a LOT of biscuits--not eight. It took much work to finally gather this into one hunk. Wish I had left it in the food processor instead of bowl. Couldn`t have equaled my handling of the dough. Must admit the biscuits(20) were good. What a choice of name--pies and thighs!!
