Make-Ahead Buttermilk Mix - Biscuits

Last week (before we were sick) I told you I made the Make-Ahead Buttermilk Mix from the Organic Valley Recipes with the product Organic valley sent. We made the waffles as a weekend breakfast with it (read about it here), and we also tried the pancakes as a dinner (not on the same day- read about them here)! Well on Monday night we had a chicken and rice casserole and made biscuits from the mix. I have to be honest, we did not love these the way we did the pancakes and waffles, they came out dry and did not have much flavor. But I will say one thing, we are in the middle of potty training around here and there was a potty "emergency" during the baking so when I came back into the kitchen the timer had already gone off and the biscuits were a bit browner than I had expected, which could explain the dry texture. If you try this recipe and have better results please let us know!

On good thing was the European Style cultured butter we spread on them, that was delicious!




Here is the Mix and Biscuit recipe from the Organic Valley website you can check out the full recipe with the instructions for waffles and pancakes there too (we really loved both of those)!

Ingredients:

Buttermilk Mix:
1 cup Organic Valley Buttermilk Blend (dry buttermilk)
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
5 cups unbleached white flour
1/4 cup baking powder
1 tablespoon baking soda
2 teaspoons salt

For Biscuits:
3 cups Buttermilk Mix
6 tablespoons (3/4 of a stick) Organic Valley Butter, frozen
1 cup Organic Valley 1% or 2% milk

Instructions:
1. To make Buttermilk Mix: Place all ingredients in a large bowl; whisk well to distribute all the ingredients evenly. Store airtight

2. To make biscuits: Heat oven to 425 degrees. Place Buttermilk Mix in a large bowl. Using the largest holes on a hand-held grater, grate the frozen butter into the mix. Using a large fork, stir gently to incorporate the butter evenly. Stir in milk until mixture is barely combined. Using floured hands, gently shape 10-12 rough balls of dough and place them 1 inch apart on ungreased baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, 13-15 minutes. Serve hot or warm, with Organic Valley European Style Cultured Butter and jam.
