Great recipe. I grated my butter and stuck it in the freezer for about ten minutes and then after working it in stuck the flour mixed with butter in the feeezer while I measured cold buttermilk. Perfection. Flakey, crusty perfect biscuits. I can always count on Chef John!
I used dried sweetened cranberries soaked in bourbon instead of raisins or currents. They were fabulous, as I ate a bowl of them while I was cooking. LOL
I grated the butter for easier incorporation, and put blueberries in them. They actually cooked for about 15 minutes instead of 12 to get the golden tops. VERY easy recipe and very yummy tasting!
