My wooden spoon buttermilk biscuits can be made on a Sunday morning, before anyone wakes up, ready to be lathered with butter and honey. Biscuits say you took the time to make something homemade, but didn’t have to wake the troops to do it. A bowl, wooden spoon, your hands, and some lard make these feel down home, no matter where you are from. Can also be seen on Foodgawker.

homemade biscuits made quick and easy
Ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tsp kosher salt

- 2 T cold unsalted butter (Plugra for me)

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or Silpat.
- In a large bowl, mix flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder, stirring lightly with a wooden spoon.
- Add butter and shortening, mixing until butter and Crisco are the size of peas.
- Make a well and add buttermilk, mixing well with a wooden spoon until incorporated.
- With hands shape into a ball and lay out on a floured surface.
- Knead out an 8 inch square and cut out with a 2 inch biscuit cutter (can use a glass as well), placing on baking sheet.
- Bake each sheet for 10-12 minutes, or until tops are brown.
- Serve warm or keep tightly wrapped at room temp for three days.
- Can be frozen for six months.
What a great thing to wake up to. Your family is very lucky.
Thanks Patty!

Delish! There’s nothing better than warm biscuits dripping in butter and honey. Where did you find your Plugra?
I find mine at bigger Baker’s, and I think once at Hy-Vee.

Those look soooo good! I wonder, why a wooden spoon? Is there any specific reason for that?
