I made breakfast the other morning!  I made sausage patties, white sausage gravy, and biscuits from scratch! Want to try to make your own buttermilk biscuits? Check out the recipe below!

Ingredients

• 2 c. all-purpose flour
• 2.5 tsp baking powder
• 0.25 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.25 c. lard or vegetable shortening, chilled
• 2 tbsp butter, chilled
• 0.75 c. buttermilk

Directions

1. Heat oven to 450°. Adjust oven rack to center position.
2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, soda, and salt. I used a whisk to mix it up. Cut in chilled shortening and butter. I used a pastry cutter to mix until they were pea-sized bits.
3. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients; pour in buttermilk. With a wooden (or plastic) spoon, gently blend dry ingredients into the buttermilk, just until the mixture is clumping together. Do not overmix. If necessary, add a few more tsp of buttermilk. I didn’t need to do this. 
4. Transfer dough to a LIGHTLY floured surface. Don’t put too much flour, or they’ll end up dry. Pat the dough out into a circle about 8 inches in diameter and half an inch thick. Using a 2.5-3 inch biscuit cutter (I used a cookie cutter), cut out and place on an ungreased baking sheet. You should get 10-12 biscuits. Bake on center oven rack for 10-12 minutes, until the tops are lightly browned. It took me 12 minutes.
