Purple Straw Buttermilk Biscuits - Barton Springs Mill grain

I’M SORRY! I used the soft wheat had both out for two different projects. Corrected . 

Amazing, light as air. And the flavor! My husband is the biscuit man expert! We have the best formula ever thanks to a blog that I will link. Get your buttermilk icy cold. Melt the butter ( use WAY less butter than folks think you should) stir into the icy buttermilk and voila. No cutting no overworked dough. Perfection. 

Will update with formula if you are interested. C

340g freshly milled Purple Straw grain Barton Mills ( chill with the buttermilk while prepping everything else) 

15g sugar

2 g baking soda

9 g baking powder

4 g Kosher salt 

480g very very chilled whole fat unadulterated Buttermilk 

60g melted butter

Some notations: I know this flies in the face of more butter is better but for truly light biscuits this is ever so much better and…. you can spread it ON the tender light hot biscuit in lavish fashion as you eat! This flour is very thirsty! This is double the amount of buttermilk he usually uses  with Arrowhead Mills AP . ⭐️ you can’t really have too wet a biscuit dough… but you can definitely have too dry. So don’t worry. It’s ok to mix with a wooden spoon these will not be tough. Scoop with a regular sized ice cream scoop drop on parchment place in preheated 450° approx 15 min. These are “ cat head” biscuits! Big!! Makes 14. 
whisk all dry ingredients. Add melted butter to cold buttermilk and whisk just to mix lightly so you see small blobs ( cooking term). Pour over dry ingredients and fold til combined. Don’t worry it’s easy to mix you aren’t beating it but you don’t want any dry parts. 
 
Scoop/ plop onto parchment. Start watching at 10-12 min but should take 15. Depending on your oven. Enjoy. 

Here’s the link to this genius technique! My Robert has done due diligence and his version works! If you decide to use any other flour or not fresh milled adjust the buttermilk downward as required.
