Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Unsalted butter (cold)
- 1 cup Buttermilk (cold)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted, for brushing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt until well combined.
Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits of butter.
Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the cold buttermilk. Using a spoon or spatula, gently stir until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.
Lightly flour a clean work surface and turn the dough out onto it. Knead the dough gently 3-4 times to bring it together, then pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick.
Fold the dough into thirds (like folding a letter), then rotate it 90 degrees. Pat it out again into a 1-inch-thick rectangle. Repeat this process 2 more times. This creates flaky biscuit layers.
Using a 2 or 2.5-inch round biscuit cutter, cut out the biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gather the scraps, gently rework them, and cut out additional biscuits.
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are tall and golden brown on top.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately brush the hot biscuits with the melted unsalted butter.
Serve the biscuits warm with butter, honey, or jam. Enjoy!
