Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

  3. 3

    Cut in Butter

    Add the cold butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  4. 4

    Add Buttermilk

    Pour in the buttermilk and stir just until combined. Do not overmix.

  5. 5

    Shape the Biscuits

    Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it just a few times. Pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle and cut out biscuits using a biscuit cutter.

  6. 6

    Bake

    Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

  7. 7
