re: Biscuits in Baton Rouge

My recipe for about 6-7 biscuits.

Mix
2 cups flour
4tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt

Rub in 3 tbsp butter and 3 tbsp crisco, lightly work it in.

Make a well and pour in 10 oz buttermilk, mix with a spatula until everything is combined. Mix as little as possible.

Pour some flour out onto a board. And form mix into a ball of dough coating all sides with flour.

Flatten out until an inch thick, fold in half, sprinkle a little flour on top. Repeat 4 more times.

Flatten it out again then use something round to cut out the biscuits. 17-20 minutes at 450, until golden brown.

The key to the whole process is to work the ingredients as little as possible.
