Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 cup Unsalted butter (cold)
- 1 packet Active dry yeast
- 0.25 cup Warm water (about 110°F/43°C)
- 1.5 cups Buttermilk
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work it into the flour mixture until the texture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in the warm water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Pour the frothy yeast mixture into the dry ingredients, followed by the buttermilk. Gently mix until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently a few times. Roll it out to about 1/2 inch thickness.
Use a round biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out biscuits. Gather and re-roll the scraps if necessary to use up all the dough.
Place the biscuits about 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheet. Let them rise for 10 minutes at room temperature.
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite jam.
