Fluffy Buttermilk Biscuits
1 1/4 C. cake flour
3/4 C. all-purpose flour
1 1/2 t. baking powder
1/2 t. baking soda
1/2 t. salt
1/4 C. butter, cut into small chunks, icy cold
3/4 C. buttermilk
1. Preheat oven to 500 degrees
2. Prepare ingredients: Cut butter into small chunks, place in a bowl and return to fridge. Measure out buttermilk and set aside. Sprinkle flour on a work surface and have extra flour nearby for your hands and biscuit cutter. Have biscuit cutter and an un-greased baking sheet handy.
3. Mix dough: In a medium-large bowl, whisk together flours, baking powder, baking soda and salt until very well blended. Add butter and cut into flour using a pastry blender, two knives or your fingertips, until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Pour in buttermilk and stir lightly until dough comes together in a ball.
4. Knead dough and cut biscuits:
Dump dough mixture out onto floured work surface. With floured hands, lightly knead dough a few times until it is fairly well blended. Pat out into a circle, 3/4 – 1 inch thick. Dip cutter into flour and cut biscuits without twisting the cutter. Form the dough scraps into an extra biscuit-like shape instead of re-rolling the dough. Place cut biscuits together on the baking sheet so that the sides are touching. Brush tops with melted butter.
5. Bake biscuits: place baking sheet in the middle of a preheated 500 degree oven and bake for 8-10 minutes until they are golden brown. Remove biscuits to a wire rack to cool for a few minutes.

That brings to mind a question you might be able to answer. In the grocery stores I see cake flour, bread flour, and all-purpose flour. I don't understand the differences between them.lvdkeyes wrote: 1 1/4 C. cake flour

Re: Southern States American food
Cake flour produces a lighter cake than all-purpose flour. Bread flour has a higher gluten content which makes the bread rise better. All-purpose is just that, you can use it for anything if you don't have the other flours on hand, but the result will be a bit different.

1/2 teaspoon salt
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Grease and flour six 6-ounce custard cups.
2. In a medium bowl beat eggs slightly, Beat in flour, milk and salt until just smooth; being careful not to over beat. Fill custard cups 1/2 full.
3. Bake at 450 degrees F (230 degrees C) for 20 minutes. Decrease oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake for 20 minutes more. Immediately remove from cups and serve piping hot.

1 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. sugar

2 eggs, beaten
2 tsp. baking powder

Yes, popovers and Yorkshire Pudding are much the same. Yorkshire Pudding has beef drippings in it.Gaybutton wrote: Are popovers and Yorkshire pudding pretty much the same thing?
