Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 5 tsp baking powder
• 1 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter or vegetable shortening
• 1 – 1 1/4 cup cold buttermilk
• Melted butter or heavy cream (for brushing the tops)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat and Set the Stage

Just like in the Smokin and Grillin wit AB kitchen, preparation is key. Preheat your grill or smoker to a sizzling 400°F (204°C). This ensures that your biscuits will be met with the perfect blend of heat and smokiness.

Step 2: Flour, Fat, and Finesse

In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients – flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Now, it’s time to introduce the cold butter or vegetable shortening. Smokin and Grillin wit AB style involves incorporating the fat with finesse, creating a crumbly texture that promises flaky biscuits.

Step 3: Buttermilk Magic

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the cold buttermilk. This is where the magic happens. Gently stir until the dough just comes together. Remember, a slightly shaggy dough is what we’re aiming for – it’s the secret to those irresistible layers.

Step 4: Layered Goodness

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and pat it into a rectangle. Fold it over itself, repeating this process 2-3 times. These folds create layers in the biscuits, ensuring a tender and airy bite that’s characteristic of Smokin and Grillin wit AB’s culinary finesse.

Step 5: Shape and Brush

Roll or pat the dough to a 1-inch thickness. Use a round biscuit cutter to cut out your biscuits, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Now, for that extra touch of indulgence, brush the tops with melted butter or heavy cream. This step guarantees a beautiful golden hue and a buttery flavor that will leave your taste buds dancing.

Step 6: Grillin’ Action

Place the baking sheet on the preheated grill or smoker and let the biscuits cook for 12-15 minutes or until they reach that perfect golden-brown perfection. As the smoky aroma fills the air, you’ll know you’re in for a treat.

Once your Buttermilk Biscuits are out of the grill or smoker, let them cool slightly. Now, it’s time to enjoy the fruits of your labor. Whether paired with a smoky barbecue feast or savored on their own, these biscuits are a testament to the Smokin and Grillin wit AB approach – turning a simple recipe into a culinary masterpiece.
