Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold, cut into small pieces)
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
- Step 3: Add the cold butter pieces to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Step 4: Pour in the buttermilk and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Step 5: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Fold the dough over itself 3-4 times to create flaky layers.
- Step 6: Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Cut out biscuits using a round cutter or a glass.
- Step 7: Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them apart.
- Step 8: Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
- Step 9: Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite toppings.
Notes
For extra flaky layers, fold the dough multiple times and keep the butter cold. Do not overmix the dough to maintain tenderness.
