Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 cup buttermilk, cold
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (for brushing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, baking soda, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Some pea-sized chunks of butter are okay, as they help create a flaky texture.
Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the cold buttermilk. Gently stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until the dough just comes together. Avoid overmixing—it’s okay if the dough looks a bit shaggy.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Lightly pat the dough into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Fold the dough over itself in thirds, like folding a letter, then turn it 90 degrees and repeat. This helps create layers in the biscuits.
Gently pat the dough back to a 1-inch thickness. Using a 2.5-inch round biscuit cutter (or a similar-sized glass), cut out biscuits. Press straight down without twisting to ensure even rising. Gather scraps, re-pat, and cut additional biscuits.
Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, making sure they slightly touch each other. This helps them rise upward instead of spreading outward.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and immediately brush the tops with melted butter for extra flavor and a glossy finish.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as butter, jam, or honey!
