Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 tsp. baking powder
- 4 tbsp. canna butter
- 1/2 tsp. table salt
- 1/2 tsp. cream of tartar
- 1/4 tsp. baking soda
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/4 cup shortening
BAKED BISCUITS
Directions:
In a large mixing bowl, mix together the flour, cream of tartar, salt, baking powder and baking soda, while preheating the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Once these ingredients are fairly well mixed together, begin to slowly but steadily mix in the shortening until the consistency becomes crumbly and chunky. Now add the buttermilk and mix until blended thoroughly. Lightly flour a wooden surface and knead the mixture 20 – 30 times, or until it has a very smooth consistency with no lumps. Roll the mixture out until it’s a half-inch thick and cut with a circular cookie cutter. If one is not available, a floured knife will suffice. Now place this on an ungreased baking sheet and brush half of the melted butter on top of the biscuits. Place in the oven for 16 – 19 minutes, or until just golden brown. Once they are out of the oven, brush the remaining butter over the top, allow to sit for a minute or two, to soak into the biscuits, serve and enjoy.
Tender biscuits start with gentle handling.
This recipe includes ¼ cup shortening for the dough and 4 tablespoons cannabutter for brushing. Work the shortening into the dry ingredients until crumbly, then add the buttermilk. Bring the dough together with as little handling as possible: excessive kneading can make a biscuit tough rather than flaky.
The bake-and-brush sequence
- Preheat the oven to the recipe's 375°F (190°C) setting. Keep the dough cool while preparing the baking sheet.
- Cut the dough about ½ inch thick, arrange the biscuits on the sheet, and brush with roughly half of the melted cannabutter.
- Bake until lightly golden, using the listed 16–19 minutes as a starting point. Brush with the remaining cannabutter after baking.
Make infused servings identifiable.
Because the infused fat is brushed on, not blended uniformly through the dough, one biscuit may receive more than another. Measure your butter, divide it as evenly as possible, and treat any per-serving potency estimate as approximate. Label leftovers and keep them securely away from children and pets.
