Ingredients Biscuits

  • c thrive white flour
  • 4 1⁄3 c cake flour
  • t thrive iodized salt
  • 3 1⁄4 T thrive white sugar
  • 1⁄4 c thrive baking powder
  • 3⁄4 c butter (salted)
  • c buttermilk

Instructions

In a large bowl, cut butter into the dry ingredients. Add the buttermilk and mix until just moistened. Do not over mix, or biscuits will become tough. Move to table and knead only four or five times. Flour a rolling pin and Roll dough evenly 1 inch thick on a floured surface and cut out with a ring mold. Place cut biscuits on a greased cookie sheet, making sure they are touching each other and not separated on baking sheet. This will help them rise and become fluffy. Brush butter on the tops of the biscuits before they go into the oven and again when they come out of the oven (this step can be optional). Bake at 415 degrees for 15–20 minutes or until golden brown.

Notes

Serving Idea: Try adding bacon, THRIVE™ cheese, green onions, or other flavors to the dough or to the tops of the biscuits to enhance the flavor.
Serving Idea: This recipe can be used to make strawberry shortcake. Just increase the sugar to ¼ cup
and add 1 tsp. vanilla extract.
