Keeping kitchen waste minimal is my policy and I try really hard to not throw anything, if I can help it. This recipe came out of that philosophy. Found a bottle of delicious buttermilk ranch in my refrigerator, past the best by date and I knew we would not be eating all of that on salads anytime soon. I searched and found this great recipe for buttermilk ranch biscuits and gave it a shot. Impressed! Turned out to be crunchy on the outside and soft inside with just a hit of the ranch flavor. If you would like to try it, here's the recipe.
Ingredients:
2 1/4 cup - All Purpose Flour
1/2 tablespoon - Baking Powder
1/2 tablespoon - Baking Soda
Pinch of Salt
1/2 cup - Unsalted Butter (Cold and cut into cubes)
3/4 cup - Buttermilk Ranch (If you don't have this, take just buttermilk and add 4 tablespoons ranch or if you have no ranch, add any of these to give it some flavor : 1 tsp cumin powder, 1 tsp pepper powder, 1 tsp chili flakes, 1 tsp onion powder or/and 1 tsp garlic powder)
1 tablespoon - Unsalted Butter (Melted)
Method:
Heat oven to 375 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add the cold cubes of butter and using your fingers mix well till you get a crumbly mixture. Make a well in the center, pour the buttermilk/ ranch and stir till just combined. Then knead lightly till it all comes together into a soft dough. Make lemon sized balls, flatten and arrange on the baking sheet.
Bake for 10 -12 minutes. In the meantime, combine the melted butter with 1tablespoon ranch and mix well. After 10-12 minutes, brush the tops and let bake till top of the biscuit is golden which should be 2-3 minutes.
Allow to cool and store in an airtight container.
