Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 0.75 cup Buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate small bowl, mix the buttermilk and vanilla extract. Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring just until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead it two to three times to bring it together, then pat it into a 1-inch-thick rectangle.
Using a round biscuit cutter or the rim of a drinking glass, cut out biscuits. Place them on the prepared baking sheet about 1 inch apart. Gather and re-roll scraps as needed to cut out more biscuits.
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until golden on the top and bottoms.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet. If desired, dust the tops with powdered sugar for a sweet finishing touch.
Serve warm with butter, jam, or honey, and share with friends to spread love and joy!
