Re: buttermilk biscuits

[Guest guest]

Hello Everyone;

I've recently found what I think will be a great supply of raw

butter, buttermilk, cream, and creme fraiche that I'm going to start

using on saturday. I would like to make some buttermilk buscuits in

a sort of NT style. I found these two recipes on line, but am not

sure if they will work with buttermilk instead of " sour milk " .

Also, they don't mention soaking the flour overnight and they don't

use whole wheat flour. Does anyone know if making those changes to

the recipe would hurt it? Or does any one here have any experience

with or recipes for real buttermilk biscuits that are somewhat NT?

SOUR MILK BISCUITS No. 7

One pint of sour milk,

1 quart flour sifted with a tablespoonful of salt and a teaspoonful

of soda.

A tablespoonful of shortening chopped into the dough.

Shape the biscuit quickly and arrange on a floured tin.

Bake in a hot oven twenty minutes.

SOUR MILK BISCUIT No. 7A

Two cupfuls of sour milk and a teaspoonful of soda,

1 quart of flour,

a heaping teaspoonful of baking powder,

a half teaspoonful of sugar,

a pinch of salt.

StIr In the milk. Cut and bake In a quick oven.

Thanks!!!
