EASY BUTTERMILK BISCUITS FROM SCRATCH (Food Processor)

Apr.posted by Paula 19 Comments

Jump to Recipe

Easy Buttermilk Biscuits from Scratch (Food Processor) are light and fluffy. Made in a food processor to lessen the chance of over-mixing, you’ll find these biscuits really easy to make!

My favorite way to enjoy them is hot out of the oven with melted butter!

Bowl of Biscuits

 

Easy Buttermilk Biscuits from Scratch

Three ingredients and one bowl (or food processor) are all you need for delectable, flaky, buttery Southern-style biscuits.

This recipe makes eight Southern classic biscuits.

  1. I typically cut the frozen butter into small cubes. You can also grate it.
  2. Next, I add the sifted flour and butter to the food processor and pulse it until it looks crumbly.
  3. Add the buttermilk to the food processor through the top lid and pulse until the dough comes together. It will stick together and pull away from the side of the bowl.
  4. Using your (clean) hands or a spatula dump the dough onto parchment paper or waxed paper that’s been floured.
  5. Press the dough to about 1/2-inch thickness then fold it over itself. Repeat the two more times.
  6. Finally, cut the biscuits into any shape you want.

I like to bake biscuits on a cast-iron skillet greased with Crisco or oil. Bake them at 425°F until they’re golden brown.

Much like when making a pie crust, use cold butter, and cut it into cubes.

I pulsed the butter and flour together until it looked crumbly.
Next, I poured in the buttermilk and processed it until just combined. Don’t overwork the dough.

Part of the secret to fluffy biscuits is no kneading or rolling the dough. I pat mine out very lightly to the thickness I want, then I cut them with a biscuit cutter.

Do you use cast-iron skillets to bake biscuits?

What do I serve with Buttermilk Biscuits?

You can serve biscuits with either sweet or savory fillings.

  • White or brown gravy
  • Chocolate gravy
  • Blueberry Jalapeno Jam, Strawberry Jam, or any jam or jelly
  • Syrup (try a good Maple Syrup)
  • Butter
  • Honey
  • Cheese or pimento cheese
  • Bacon or sausage

Worry about over-mixing? No problem using my food processor method. These biscuits are light and fluffy. I hate to say anything is the 'best ever', but these are pretty close!!

    Great tip to use a food processor. I really need to get one. I use a mixer for my biscuits, and like you said- the trick is to not over-mix. I’ve never used self-rising flour before. Do you bake with it often?

      No, I usually use all-purpose. Really, now that I think about it, I can’t think of what else I use self-rising in… my mother used self-rising in her biscuits so in my mind that’s what you’re supposed to use. 🙂 You know Mother’s influence us like that.

    Paula, these biscuits not only look fabulous, but they use a minimum of ingredients and come together lickety-split! A food processor and pie dough get along splendidly, but now I’m enlightened to a new use for the tool. Thanks for sharing this with us.

      You’re so welcome, Brooks. I honestly bought a food processor to make pie crusts and thought, why can’t I do biscuits the same way in it? It worked out beautifully. Thanks for visiting.

      That’s the same reason I asked for a food processor. I loved the results of the pie crusts too. Big Daddy’s biscuits are a bonus! love that.

      Thanks for stopping by, unfortunately, I understand, I’m late to parties all the time 🙂
