  • Freeze butter and chill flour mixture. Measure buttermilk and place measuring cup in fridge until very cold.
  • Grate butter with large holes of box grater adding to cold flour a bit at a time, tossing after each addition.
  • Add pimento cheese to flour mixture a heaping teaspoon at a time, tossing in flour as you go.
  • Add buttermilk stirring just until all ingredients are blended. Do not overblend.
  • Turn dough onto floured surface. Pat out until about ½inch thick and then fold over and pat out again. Repeat this 4 times.
  • Use rolling pin or pat with hands until dough is about ½ inch thick.
  • Cut with biscuit cutter using straight down and up motion.
  • Place close together on parchment lined sheet and bake at 450 degrees for 12-13 minutes or until lightly browned.
  • Brush with butter if desired immediately after removing from oven.

Notes

Using a 2 and ½ inch biscuit cutter will yield approximately 12 biscuits. Re-roll dough and cut 3-4 more biscuits for a total of approximately 15-16.
