Buttermilk Truck Famous Biscuits

Buttermilk Truck uses these biscuits for their popular Buttermilk Brick breakfast sandwich.

Yield: 6 biscuits

Ingredients

• 8 ounces all-purpose flour (about 1 1/2 cups)
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 pinch garlic powder
• 8 tablespoons cold unsalted Real California butter, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
• 3/4 cup real California buttermilk
• 2 tablespoons melted real California butter

Instructions

1. Heat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. In a mixing bowl, stir dry ingredients together with a fork. With a pastry blender, cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Make a well in the center and add buttermilk. With your hands or a rubber spatula, quickly fold together dry ingredients and buttermilk until a sticky dough forms. Turn dough out onto a floured surface; roll out 3/4 inch thick. With a 3 inch biscuit cutter, cut dough into rounds. Transfer to a sheet pan and brush with melted butter.
3. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.

Notes

To make the Buttermiok Brick breakfast sandwich at home, place 2 buttermilk biscuits on a bed of hash-brown potatoes, top with 2 over-easy eggs and chorizo gravy. If desired, sprinkled with grated Real California Cheddar cheese.
