How to Make Quick Buttermilk Biscuits
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup shortening. Cut in the shortening using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in 1/4 cup bacon grease (or substitute with more shortening).
- Gradually add 1 cup buttermilk, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each biscuit.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve warm with butter, jam, or your favorite topping. Biscuits can be frozen before baking; bake from frozen, adding 5-7 minutes to the baking time.
