The Flakiest 4 Ingredient Buttermilk Biscuits!


Transforming the Ordinary into Exceptional

Bread, a staple in nearly every culture, has the transformative power to go from ordinary to exceptional. Imagine a world where the biscuits you craft aren’t just biscuits—they’re an experience. That’s exactly what we’re doing with these Buttery, Flaky, Tomato-Infused Biscuits. We’re upping the ante in the bread game, and you won’t believe how simple it is to achieve it.

Bread as an Emotional Journey

Ah, bread. It’s been with humanity for millennia, evolving along with us. The smell of freshly baked bread can invoke childhood memories, conjure up a sense of home, or simply envelop you in a wave of comfort. When you toss tomatoes into this ancient equation, what you get is not just a culinary treat but an emotional journey.

Ingredients: The Four Pillars of Flavor and Texture

Let’s get to the heart of these biscuits by diving into each main ingredient:

  • Butter: This isn’t just fat; it’s flavor central. Grated and frozen, the butter lends a layered, flaky texture that’s to die for.
  • Tomatoes: They do more than add a burst of color. Sliced and seedless, tomatoes introduce juiciness and a tangy zing that complements the richness of the butter.
  • Self-Rising Flour: This is your structure. Your base. It gives the biscuits their body and lift.
  • Buttermilk: It goes beyond moisture. Its tanginess adds complexity to the flavor profile, and its acidic nature helps the biscuits rise to their fluffy best.

Breaking Down The Steps: Demystifying Bread Making

Now that we’ve talked about the ingredients, let’s break down the steps:

  1. Prep Work: Grating the butter and freezing it ensures you’ll get flaky layers.
  2. Tomato Care: Removing the seeds prevents sogginess and ensures a firm, but juicy texture.
  3. The Mix: Combining the flour, tomatoes, and butter prepares the foundation of your biscuits.
  4. The Liquid Gold: Adding buttermilk in stages prevents overmixing, and helps you get a soft, cohesive dough.

The Unexpectedly Easy World of Bread Baking

If you think bread-making is a complex, time-consuming affair, this recipe is here to shatter that illusion. Four ingredients. A couple of bowls and a baking tray. A smattering of simple techniques. And voila! You’re not just baking; you’re crafting artisanal biscuits that would make even a seasoned baker blush.

Catering to Every Lifestyle: Bread Should Be Inclusive

  • Vegan Friendly: Substitute dairy butter with vegan butter and make plant-based buttermilk with almond milk and a tablespoon of vinegar.
  • Gluten-Free Galore: Replace regular flour with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. Also, make sure your baking powder is gluten-free.
  • Keto Adaptation: Swap the flour for almond flour and replace buttermilk with full-fat coconut milk. Omit tomatoes to keep the carb count low.

Ingredients
  

  • ¾ Cup Cold Butter
  • 3 ½ Cups Self Rising Flour (Or Sub 3 ½ Cup All Purpose Flour, 1 Tbsp Baking Powder, 2 Tsp Salt)

Instructions
 

  • Grab cold butter and grate it. Place in the freezer for 10 min.

  • After about 6 folds, flatten dough with a rolling pin to about 1 1/2 inches thick. Slice into 8 even biscuits. Place onto a buttered & floured baking tray. Brush with egg wash.
  • Bake in the over at 375 degrees for about 30 min. Remove and enjoy!!!
