Method
Preparation
- 1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This ensures the biscuits will rise properly and achieve a golden color.
- 2
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt until evenly combined.
- 3
Cut in Butter
Add the cold unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Mixing Wet Ingredients
- 4
Add Buttermilk
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the buttermilk. Stir until just combined; do not overmix.
Baking
- 5
Shape the Dough
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat it into a rectangle about 1-inch thick. Fold it over itself a few times to create layers, then cut out biscuits using a round cutter.
- 6
Prepare for Baking
Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are close together but not touching. This helps them rise better.
- 7
Sprinkle with Sea Salt
Lightly sprinkle sea salt over the tops of the biscuits for added flavor.
- 8
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.

Serve Warm
Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving warm. Enjoy them plain or with butter and jam.
