Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Butter flavor shortening
- 0.75 cup Cold buttermilk
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted for brushing)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 3
Cut the cold unsalted butter into small pieces, then use a pastry cutter or fork to blend the butter and butter flavor shortening into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 4
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the cold buttermilk. Stir gently with a spatula until the dough just comes together. Do not over mix.
Step 5
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently knead it about 4-5 times until it holds its shape. Pat the dough into a rectangle about 1 inch thick.
Step 6
Fold the dough into thirds (like folding a letter), rotate it 90 degrees, and gently roll it out to a 1-inch thickness again. Repeat this folding process one more time. This will create layers in the biscuits.
Step 7
Use a round biscuit cutter (about 2.5 inches in diameter) to cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are touching each other for softer sides.
Step 8
Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush the tops of the biscuits lightly with the egg wash for a golden crust.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and immediately brush the tops with the melted butter for extra flavor.
Step 11
Serve warm and enjoy your sugar-free Popeyes-style buttermilk biscuits.
