Buttermilk Biscuits
Fluffy, buttery, golden buttermilk biscuits that rise high and flake perfectly. Ideal for breakfast, brunch, or a cozy dinner side.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 3/4 cup buttermilk, cold
- Melted butter, for brushing tops
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
- Make a well in the center and pour in the cold buttermilk. Stir gently until just combined.
- Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a rectangle. Fold in half and repeat 3 to 4 times.
- Pat dough to 1-inch thickness, cut with biscuit cutter, and place biscuits on baking sheet, touching slightly.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes until golden brown on top.
- Brush hot biscuits with melted butter and serve warm.
Notes
- Use cold ingredients for the flakiest layers.
- Do not twist the biscuit cutter when cutting dough.
- Chill the shaped biscuits for 10 minutes before baking for extra rise.
