An egg wash gives these fluffy biscuits a shiny, golden crust, slightly different from traditional biscuits brushed with butter. Use a soft-wheat flour, such as White Lily, for tenderness.
How to Make It
Step 1
Combine first 5 ingredients in a large bowl; cut in shortening with a pastry blender until mixture is crumbly. Add buttermilk, stirring until dry ingredients are moistened. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead lightly 4 or 5 times.
Step 2
Roll dough to 1/2-inch thickness, cut with a 2 1/2-inch round cutter, and place on lightly greased baking sheets. Brush biscuits with egg. Bake at 425° for 10 minutes or until golden.
