Heavenly Thanksgiving Biscuits: A Foolproof Recipe
Thanksgiving is a time for gathering, gratitude, and of course, incredible food. Among the many dishes that grace the holiday table, biscuits hold a special place – warm, fluffy, and capable of transforming an ordinary meal into a memorable feast.
The secret to perfect biscuits lies in a few key techniques:
- Use cold butter and handle it minimally
- Choose high-quality, unbleached flour
- Don't overwork the dough
- Brush with melted butter before baking
For the ultimate Thanksgiving biscuits, you'll need:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup cold buttermilk
Mix dry ingredients, cut in cold butter until crumbly, then gently fold in buttermilk. Pat into a rectangle, fold several times for layers, and cut into rounds. Bake at 425°F for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
These biscuits aren't just a side dish – they're a celebration of tradition, comfort, and culinary skill. Whether served alongside turkey or used for post-meal sandwiches, they're sure to become a cherished part of your Thanksgiving tradition.
