Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 0.75 cup buttermilk, cold
- 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Make a well in the center and pour in the cold buttermilk. Stir the mixture with a wooden spoon or spatula until it just comes together and forms a somewhat shaggy dough.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead the dough 4-5 times to bring it together, being careful not to overwork it.
Pat the dough into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Fold the dough in half and then pat it back out into a rectangle. Repeat this folding process two more times to create layered biscuits.
Use a lightly floured 2½-inch biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits, being careful not to twist the cutter to ensure the biscuits rise properly.
Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Brush the tops of the biscuits with half of the melted butter. This will help them achieve a golden brown color as they bake.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and fully cooked through.
Remove from the oven and immediately brush with the remaining melted butter.
Serve warm and enjoy your fluffy, buttery Popeyes-style biscuits!
