Buttermilk Biscuits
(Makes about 10)
2 1/2 cups White Lilly self-rising flour (or 2 1/2 cups cake flour, 3 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt) plus more for dusting
1-2 teaspoons sugar (1 will just enhance browning, 2 you'll start to taste)
1 stick salted butter (or unsalted plus 1/4 teaspoon salt), FROZEN SOLID
1 cup buttermilk, cold
Melted butter to brush the tops
Pre-heat oven to 475 F. Measure out the flour and sugar into a mixing bowl. Grate the frozen butter with the big holes on a box grater, toss the butter in with the flour, and put the bowl in the freezer for 15 minutes. Barely mix in the buttermilk, and turn the resulting disaster out onto a well-floured surface. Mold it into a big lump, flour the surface, and roll it out to an inch thick. Flour the surface, fold it over on itself, and roll it out again. Repeat for a total of four folds and roll it out to an inch a final time. Punch the biscuits out with a sharp circular cutter (or you can just cut them into squares with a knife). Remember the biscuits you make from the trimmings won't be as good. Put the biscuits on a parchment-lined baking sheet, brush them with melted butter, and bake until puffy and golden, about 15 minutes.
Biscuits with Country Ham and Red-Eye Gravy
If you like your ham crispy like I do, take 2-4 biscuit-cut slices per person and put them into a cold, dry pan. Turn the heat on medium and let the fat slowly melt out of the slices, then brown the slices a bit in their own fat. Take them out of the pan a little before they're as crispy as you want them, because they'll harden as they cool.
Deglaze the pan with black coffee, and turn the heat off. After the sauce has stopped boiling, mix in a healthy amount of the sweetener of your choice — I like honey — and melt in half a tablespoon of cold butter.
Split a biscuit in half, put the ham on the bottom half, drizzle with red-eye gravy, and layer on the top half.
