Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 0.75 cups Buttermilk (cold)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted, for brushing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. The small bits of butter should still be visible.
Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the cold buttermilk. Gently stir with a wooden spoon or spatula just until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead the dough 3-4 times to bring it together. Pat or roll the dough out to about 1 inch thick.
Using a round biscuit cutter (about 2 to 2.5 inches in diameter), cut out biscuits. Do not twist the cutter—press straight down to ensure the biscuits rise evenly. Gather any scraps, pat the dough together, and cut out additional biscuits until all the dough is used.
Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between them for crisp edges or placing them close together for soft-sided biscuits.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
As soon as the biscuits come out of the oven, brush the tops with melted butter for an extra boost of flavor and shine.
Serve warm and enjoy your heavenly biscuits with butter, honey, or jam!
