Method

  1. In a food processor, combine 2 Tbsp. (heaping) sugar, 2¾ tsp. baking soda, 1½ tsp. baking powder, 1½ tsp. Diamond Crystal or 1 tsp. Morton kosher salt, and 5 cups (625 g) all-purpose flour. Pulse until well combined.

  2. Add ¾ cup (1½ sticks) plus 1 Tbsp. chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces, to the food processor. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse sand.

  3. Add another ¾ cup (1½ sticks) plus 1 Tbsp. chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces, to the food processor. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal with some pea-size pieces of butter.

  4. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and drizzle 2 cups buttermilk over it. Toss with a fork to incorporate.

  5. Knead the mixture a few times in the bowl until a shaggy dough forms.

  6. Turn out the dough onto a generously floured surface and pat it into a 10x7½ rectangle about 1 thick.

  7. Using a bench scraper, fold the dough into thirds, as if folding a letter. Then turn it seam side down, rotate 90°, and gently roll it out to 1 thick.

  8. Repeat the folding and rolling process 2 more times.

  9. Transfer the dough to a baking sheet and freeze

About this recipe

The Perfect Comfort Food

When it comes to comfort food, few things can beat the satisfying combination of warm, fluffy buttermilk biscuits and rich, flavorful curry gravy. These two dishes may seem like an unlikely pair, but they come together harmoniously to create a meal that is both comforting and full of flavor.

Why Choose Buttermilk Biscuits?

Buttermilk biscuits are a classic choice for many reasons. Their light and tender texture, combined with a subtle tanginess from the buttermilk, makes them the perfect vessel for soaking up savory gravies. The flaky layers of a well-made biscuit provide a delightful contrast to the creamy curry gravy, creating a satisfying bite with every mouthful.

The Art of Biscuit Making

Making the perfect buttermilk biscuits requires a delicate balance of ingredients and technique. The key is to handle the dough gently, avoiding overmixing, which can result in tough biscuits. Incorporating cold butter into the flour creates pockets of steam during baking, leading to the flaky layers that make biscuits so irresistible. And of course, using high-quality buttermilk adds that distinctive tang and richness that sets these biscuits apart.

Curry Gravy: A Flavor Explosion

Curry gravy is a deliciously fragrant and flavorful sauce that pairs beautifully with buttermilk biscuits. The aromatic blend of spices and herbs, combined with a creamy base, creates a sauce that is both comforting and exotic. The warmth of the curry spices complements the buttery biscuits, resulting in a taste experience that is truly unforgettable.

In Conclusion

Buttermilk biscuits with curry gravy are a match made in comfort food heaven. The fluffy, buttery biscuits provide the perfect base for the fragrant and creamy curry gravy. So next time you're craving something comforting and full of flavor, give this unique combination a try. Your taste buds will thank you!
