Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon baking soda
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Mix these dry ingredients until they are well blended.
Take the unsalted butter out of the refrigerator and cut it into small cubes. This ensures the butter stays cold, which is crucial for the flakiness of the biscuits.
Add the cold butter cubes to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or two knives to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Create a well in the center of the flour-butter mixture and pour in the buttermilk gradually. Stir with a fork until the ingredients are just combined and a dough starts to form. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough gently about 5-6 times until it holds together but is still soft. Pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick.
Using a 2-inch round biscuit cutter, cut out the biscuits from the dough. Press straight down without twisting to ensure the biscuits can rise properly.
Place the cut biscuits on a parchment-lined baking sheet, making sure they are touching each other. This helps them rise evenly.
Brush the tops of the biscuits with heavy cream to promote a golden-brown finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the tops are lightly golden.
Allow the biscuits to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy these delicious sugar-free buttermilk biscuits warm from the oven!
