Southern Buttermilk Biscuits AKA Popeyes Biscuits
So it’s the blogiversary month of www.taystit.com and I can’t believe it’s been 6 wholesome years (though I was active and inactive during the phase) Alhamdulilah! What a beautiful journey!! I really had no clue when I started my blogging journey, but here we are! A successfully running blog thanks to you lovely readers 🥹❤️ Forver grateful for every little lesson learnt, every new dish discovered, every hack shared here and to you guys who try my recipes and have “Taysted it” and a special shout-out to everyone of you who takes the time to send me your tried pictures 🥰
These southern buttermilk biscuits was my first post on my blog! What better way to celebrate the blogiversary by revamping my first post with better pictures and video of the same. 😃
Being a big fan of the biscuits of POPEYES , a fast food restaurant chain, since childhood I and my siblings used to devour their buttermilk biscuits which were crunchy on the outside yet soft and pillowy on the inside which was filled with so much aroma that we used to actually buy it, sit and smell the biscuits for a good 2 minutes. Yeah I know it sounds crazy, but after you bake some of these I'm sure you would get what I am trying to convey. Since childhood, I used to wonder if we could bake these little softballs at home. Which indeed I did and oh boy did I get the expected results? Whoa, I was astonished and very happy that it came out so good. Better than what I expected it to be. Alhamdulillah.
And so, I am proceeding to share a small piece of my childhood, which I hope and believe my dear readers would try and recreate; the famous SOUTHERN BUTTERMILK BISCUITS.Go on, TAYST IT!
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tsp Honey
- 50 grams of Butter
- 1 cup buttermilk
Instructions:
- Combine flour, baking powder, soda, and salt; stir well. Cut in the frozen butter with a pastry blender/ a food processor until mixture resembles coarse meal.
- Gradually add buttermilk, and honey stirring until dry ingredients are moistened. Do not over mix as overmixing can cause the dough to bake to a bread like texture.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead 10 to 12 times. Roll dough to 1/2-inch thickness; cut with a 2-inch biscuit cutter. Or make small balls out of it (I actually prefer the ball shape), because it resembled the real Popeye's biscuits.
- Place biscuits on a baking sheet lined with a baking paper. Brush some buttermilk on the top of the biscuits for that extra crunchiness, and they are ready to bake. Bake at 400°f for 10 - 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve warm.
Note:
*If you do not have buttermilk on hand, you may take 1 cup of milk and 1 tbsp of white vinegar and give a little mix and allow it to stay for 5 minutes; your homemade buttermilk is ready to use.
