Hannah's <3 Biscuits

I had the best and prettiest biscuits one Sunday morning when my friend, Hannah, slept over. We found The Cook's Bible by Christopher Kimball by the street garbage can the day prior and took it. She adapted this from the book and made the best warm, flakey and delicious biscuits ever.



She halved the recipe (so that we couldn't over eat), mixed lemon juice in soy milk to replace buttermilk, and substituted all butter for shortening (because I didn't have them.) She cut them out with 2-inch heart shape cookie cutter.



So here is Hannah's version of Heart Biscuits

Ingredients

• 1 cup flour


• 1/4 teaspoon salt


• 1 teaspoon baking powder


• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda


• 4 tablespoons cold butter


• 1/2 cup buttermilk (or juice from 1/2 a lemon and a little less than 1/2 cup of soy milk

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.


2. In a large bowl combine all the dry ingredients. Cut butter into small chunks and cut into the flour mixture by hand and two table knifes until you get coarse crumbs.


3. Fold in buttermilk. Roll the mixture on floured kitchen counter top and cut out with cookie cutter or just drop the mixture by tablespoons onto prepared baking sheet.


4. Bake for 5 to 10 minutes depending on how big the biscuits are. Serve warm.
