Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg (preferably fresh ground)
- ½ cup butter (room temperature)
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and nutmeg.
- In a large bowl cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 2-3 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating between each addition and scraping down the sides of the bowl. Beat in buttermilk and vanilla.
- Slowly beat in the flour mixture until just smooth. Divide dough in half, shape it into circles and wrap in plastic. Refrigerate for at least one hour.
- Preheat oven to 375℉ and line baking sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment paper.
- Sprinkle a flat surface with flour. Roll out one disk to ¼-inch thickness. Cut with a 1½ inch biscuit cutter. Place circles on baking sheet 1 inch apart. Repeat with remaining disk.
- Bake at 375℉ until lightly browned, about 8-10 minutes.. Cool for 1 minute on the pan then move to a cooling rack to cool completely.
