Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, cold
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 3 tablespoons Melted butter (for brushing)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and baking soda until well combined.
Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes, then use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Pour the buttermilk into the mixture and stir gently with a fork until the dough just comes together. Avoid overmixing.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times until smooth. Pat the dough into a rectangle about 1-inch thick.
Fold the dough in half, rotate it 90 degrees, and roll it back out into the rectangle. Repeat this process two more times; this creates layers in the biscuits.
Roll out the dough to about 3/4-inch thickness. Use a round 2-inch cutter to cut out the biscuits, gently pressing down without twisting, which ensures even rising.
Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1/2-inch apart for crispier sides or touching for softer sides.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and immediately brush the tops with melted butter. Serve warm and enjoy!
