Outside North America the biscuit is typically hard, flat, and unleavened; in North America it is typically a soft, leavened quick bread.
Canada is known for its lovely Biscuits and Bannock . And you can get the greatest biscuits anywhere you go.
One of the hobbies I have is to read about food and their origins.

Tips for successful Fluffy Biscuits
Freeze your butter and grate it into the mixture!
Use cold buttermilk
Whisk with a Spatula so your hands don’t warm up the dough
Don’t knead your dough.
You’re going to need:
1 Stick of cold butter
2.5 Cup of unbleached white flour
1 Cup of cold buttermilk
1 Egg
Cheddar cheese
Salt
1/2 tsp of baking soda
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 475
Into your baking pan, place some parchment paper and set it aside.
Start by grating your cold stick butter and the cheddar cheese into the flour.
The reason why we grate butter is that the fat will distribute into your dough evenly, which will make your biscuits light and fluffy all over.
Another reason, is that I found this is the easiest way to make fluffy buttermilk biscuits
Second, add the egg, salt and the baking soda.
Pour the buttermilk into the mixture and mix everything with the Spatula until well combined.
Keep stirring with the Spatula for about 3 mins.
After you’re done, flour your surface with some flour and put your dough on it.
Use rolling pin roller to roll your dough. Sprinkle a little bit of flour on the top for the dough to not stick to the rolling pin roller…
Shape your dough and fold it. Do the layering process for about 2 times.
This will make your biscuits gets flaky when it’s cooking.
Cut your dough up and down with a round cutter
Place your round circles into the parchment paper.
When you place your cut biscuits into the parchment paper, make sure they’re touching. This will help them rise when they are in the oven.
Cook them for about 15mins.
And enjoy with a nice bowl of soup!
I have accompanied them with pumpkin soup 🙂
