Step 1

First, adjust your oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 450ºF. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

Step 2

Next, cut the chilled shortening into the flour mix. Erika recommends getting hands-on with the process by breaking the chunks with your fingertips. Continue until only pea-sized pieces remain. Cut the butter in using the same technique. Once you’re happy with the results, place the mixture into the freezer for about 15 minutes.

Step 2 Add the Wet

Step 4

Add the buttermilk to the chilled flour mixture. Using a fork, stir the mixture until the are combined. No dry flour should be visible. The dough should start to form into a ball, though it will remain sticky and a bit shaggy.

Step 5

Time for the fun part! Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface, adding additional flour as needed. With floured hands, pat the round into a rectangle that’s about ¼-inches thick.

Step 6

Fold the dough into thirds, then, lifting the short end, fold into thirds again to form a rectangle. Dust with flour as needed. Repeat the folding process once more, patting the dough to form a ½-inch thick rectangle.

Step 7

Cut the dough using a 2-inch round biscuit cutter. Re-form your scraps to ensure every bit of dough gets used.

Step 8

Place the biscuits 1-inch apart on a greased baking sheet and chill until your pretzel wash is ready.
