SCOTT PEACOCK'S CLASSIC BUTTERMILK BISCUITS
This recipe was found in the NY Times. It is from the Watershed Restaurant in Decatur, GA. My friend, Puppyhal, who claimed that he could not make good biscuits tried this recipe and said they came out perfect! This takes a lot of work but it is worth it.

Steps:
- Set a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 500 degrees F. Sift together the cream of tartar and baking soda. In a large bowl whisk together the flour, cream of tartar-baking soda mixture, and the salt. Add the butter. Working quickly with your clean hands rub it between your fingertips until half is coarsely blended in and the remaining pieces of butter are 3/4 inch thick.
- Make a well in the center of your mixture, add the buttermilk, and stir it quickly just until it has blended and a sticky dough forms. (If dough appears dry add 1 to 2 Tbs more buttermilk.)
- Immediately turn dough out onto a generously floured surface. Using floured hands briskly knead about 10 times until a ball forms. Gently flatten the dough, and using a floured rolling pin, roll to 3/4 inch thick.
- Using a fork dipped in flour, pierce the dough through at 1/2 inch intervals. Flour a 2 1/2 inch or 3 inch biscuit cutter and stamp out rounds. Arrange these on a heavy, parchment paper lined baking sheet.
- Bake until golden in the preheated oven, for about 12 minutes or so.
- Remove from the oven and brush with melted butter.

SCOTT PEACOCK'S CLASSIC BUTTERMILK BISCUITS
Biscuit recipes don't vary much. Usually, the difference between a good biscuit and a great one is technique. Scott Peacock honed the technique taught to him by the great Southern cook Edna Lewis while he was a chef at Watershed restaurant in Decatur, Ga. It's a touch fussy - one is required to make baking powder from baking soda and cream of tartar - but the results are superior.

CRUSTY BUTTERMILK BISCUITS
Renowned Alabama chef Scott Peacock has a certain way with biscuits, so it was a no-brainer for us to turn to him for another version of his classic recipe. But this is no imitator-here we have an all-butter version that comes in smaller portions-just perfect for a big gathering. Lastly, A blend of two different flours, whole wheat and cake, create an ultra-crisp crust and a melt-in-your-mouth crumb that is ideal for jams and gravies.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 500°F. In a large bowl, whisk together both flours, baking powder, and salt until thoroughly combined. Using your fingers, quickly work in butter, rubbing between your fingers to flatten as you go. (Roughly half of butter should have the consistency of very coarse meal; the rest should be in largish flattened pieces.) Make a well in mixture; pour in buttermilk. Stir quickly just until dough is well moistened and just beginning to form a mass. (It will be very wet and sticky.)
- Turn out dough onto a generously floured board or biscuit marble; sprinkle just enough flour over it to make it easy to handle. Knead quickly, without applying too much pressure as you fold. (The goal is to develop structure quickly without deflating.) Once it forms a cohesive dough, move to side of board; scrape up kneading flour.
- Sprinkle a fresh, light dusting of flour on board. (Do not flour top of biscuit dough.) Flouring only hands and rolling pin as needed, roll out dough approximately 1/2 inch thick. With a floured fork, pierce all the way through at 1/2-inch intervals. Using a 1 3/4-inch round cutter, stamp out biscuits (without rotating cutter); place them on parchment-lined baking sheets, almost touching. Gather and reroll scraps; punch out and place more rounds. Bake until biscuits are puffed slightly and brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Serve warm.
