Homemade Buttermilk Biscuits



Buttermilk biscuits are a delicious breakfast food. Especially with butter and jelly! To start out, you will need:

- 1 cup butter, softened
- 4 cups four
- 2 tbsp. sugar
- 4 tsp. baking powder
- 1/4 tsp. baking soda
- 2 tsp. salt
- 1 1/2 cups buttermilk



First, I preheated my oven to 450 degrees. Next, I put my 1 cup of butter and my flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt  into a medium to large bowl. 





If you had a pastry blender, you can use that, but since I don't I just used my hand and mixed it all together until it looks like fine bread crumbs. 




Next, add the buttermilk. Stir it all together until the dough leaves the side of the bowl (the dough will be sticky. I prepared my kneading surface by sprinkling flour on on my counter. Knead your dough lightly for about 10 times, or until your dough starts to actually look like a dough, (smooth and soft). 



Roll out your dough to 1/2 inch thick. If you roll it out thinner, your biscuits won't rise as high.


 Use a 2 inch or your 2 1/2 inch cookie cutter. Now I don't have one, so I used a wide mouthed cup instead. This recipe will make 22 biscuits. 




Place your biscuits on an un-greased cookie sheet. Bake them for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown. The biscuits will look nice and fluffy, just like a store bought biscuit. 



They will be hot, so try to let them cool down a little, but still try to eat them warm.

Blue and White Swirl Cake

So here it is....my first real cake decorating video and post! I made chocolate cake, filled with chocolate icing, and covered in blue and white flowers and stars. This cake looks a little hard to make, but in reality is very easy ! To start out, I baked two nine inch chocolate cakes, let them cool, and leveled them using my cake leveler. Then I filled and stacked them. I used store bought icing to fill the cake. More info on that below. I finally crumb coated them and put them in the freezer to chill for 15 minutes. For this cake, I made some American buttercream, and dyed half of it blue. I used some blue food coloring I had on hand, and probably put about 5-6 drops of in in my buttercream. I was worried I would not have enough buttercream to pipe on the outside of my cake if I were to fill it with my buttercream. So instead of filling my cake with the buttercream, I used a can of chocolate store bought icing I had in the pantry. So I filled and crumb coated my cakes wi...

Snickerdoodles

Since Fall is here, I thought I would post a fall themed recipe. So I usually use the recipe I have in my Betty Crocker cookbook, but today I wanted to try something different. I went online and found this recipe from Cookies and Cups, so check out her blog. I think I will probably use the Betty Crocker recipe, so I will tell you more about that at the end of this post. As usual when creaming butter and sugar, you really want to make sure you do it well. I think I creamed mine for at least 3 minutes. More time, such as 5 minutes, would be even better. Once the butter is all creamed together with the sugars, you are going to add your egg and egg yolk one at a  time.   Before we mix the eggs, we are going to add our baking soda, cream of tartar, salt, cinnamon, and vanilla. I didn't include the clip of me adding the baking soda because I didn't want you to get it confused with the cream of tartar, but don't worry, I added it. So once all of that is is ...
