Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
- 3.4 cups buttermilk (cold)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted, for brushing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces of butter.
Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the cold buttermilk. Use a spatula to gently stir until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead the dough 3-4 times to bring it together, then pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick.
Fold the dough in half, then pat it out again into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Repeat this folding process 2 more times to create layers for flakiness.
Using a 2.5-inch round biscuit cutter, cut out the biscuits. Press straight down without twisting for the best rise. Gather any scraps, gently pat them together, and cut out additional biscuits.
Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are slightly touching each other for a higher rise.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and immediately brush the tops with melted butter for an extra buttery finish.
Serve warm and enjoy!
