If you’re a fan of Southern cuisine, then you absolutely must try this recipe for Jim n Nick’s-style biscuits! These deliciously flaky biscuits are the perfect addition to any breakfast or brunch, and are sure to get your day off to a delicious start.
To begin, preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Cut in 6 tablespoons of cold butter with a pastry cutter or your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Next, stir in 3/4 cup of chilled buttermilk until a sticky dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead lightly until it comes together into a ball. Pat the dough out into a rectangle that is about 1/2 inch thick, then fold it over on top of itself and pat it out again. Repeat this process three more times, dusting the dough with flour as needed.
Using a floured 2-inch biscuit cutter, cut out as many biscuits as you can from the dough and place them onto the prepared baking sheet. Gather the remaining scraps of dough together and pat them out again, then cut out more biscuits until you have used all of the dough.
Bake the biscuits for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and puffy. While the biscuits are baking, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a small saucepan and brush the melted butter over the tops of the hot biscuits as soon as they come out of the oven.
Serve the biscuits warm with your favorite breakfast foods, such as scrambled eggs, bacon, and fresh fruit. You can also add a little sweetness to the biscuits by spreading a dollop of honey or jam on top.
These Jim n Nick’s-style biscuits are a classic Southern favorite that are sure to please anyone who tries them. With their flaky texture, buttery flavor, and easy preparation, they’re the perfect addition to your breakfast or brunch menu. Serve them with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
