Directions

1. 1
   {"0":"Preheat oven to 450 F.","1":"Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.","2":"In a large bowl add flour, baking powder, salt and brown sugar.","3":"Whisk until well combined. (may need to sift it to help break up the brown sugar)","4":"Grate the cold butter into the flour mixture.","5":"Add the shortening.","6":"Use a fork, whisk or pastry cutter to cut the butter and shortening into the flour mixture until it resembles large crumbs.","7":"Make a well in the center of the bowl.","8":"Mix together the buttermilk and heavy cream.","9":"Add to the center of well.","10":"Slowly and very gently begin adding the flour mixture into the well.","11":"Stir gently until the flour mixture is moistened (do not over stir)","12":"Generously flour your work surface with flour.","13":"Place dough onto floured surface.","14":"Sprinkle the top of dough with flour and flour your hands as well.","15":"Very gently, knead the dough by folding it in layers a few times while adding more flour, just enough so that the dough is not sticking to your hands or your work surface. (less flour, the better)","16":"Gently pat the dough out into a small rectangle about 1 inch thick.","17":"Flour your biscuit cutter and cut out circles.","18":"Place biscuits on prepared cookie sheet with sides barely touching.","19":"Make a small dent in the center of each biscuit with your finger (this helps tall biscuits rise without falling over)","20":"Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden. (sometimes mine take up to 14 minutes)","21":"Brush generously with melted butter as soon as they come out of the oven. (don't skip this step)","22":"Serve hot.","25":"Read More http:\/\/divascancook.com\/easy-southern-buttermilk-biscuits-recipe\/"}
