Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C).
  2. 2 Place flour into a large bowl. Cut in shortening with a pastry blender or two knives until crumbs are pea-sized. Stir in buttermilk with a fork just until moistened.
  3. 3 Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently 5 to 6 times, just until a smooth dough is formed. Roll dough into a 7-inch circle with a thickness of 3/4 to 1 inch. Dip a 2-inch biscuit cutter in flour and cut out as many biscuits as you can. Gather dough scraps and roll together into a ball; pat out to the same thickness as before and cut out addtional biscuits.
  4. 4 Transfer biscuits to a baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart. (For softer biscuits, arrange so the edges almost touch.)
  5. 5 Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and brush butter over top.

Instructions

  1. 1 Pour milk into a large pot and bring to a boil over medium heat; watch carefully to prevent milk from boiling over. When milk begins to boil, pour buttermilk into the pot in a steady stream, stirring constantly. The milk will separate into curds and water.
  2. 2 Line a colander with cheesecloth. Pour milk mixture through the cheesecloth, reserving some of the strained liquid. Let milk mixture sit in the colander until curds are settled and dripping stops, about 2 hours.
  3. 3 Transfer strained curds to a food processor. Process until smooth and mixture can be formed into a ball. Add some of the reserved liquid and process again if mixture is too dry. The consistency should resemble firm ricotta cheese.
  4. 4 Turn cheese out onto a clean surface and knead until smooth. Form into a ball and wrap in plastic. Refrigerate until needed.
  5. 5 To cook paneer, heat oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Cut paneer into bite-sized pieces. Fry in hot oil until very pale golden brown, about 1 minute. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
