Wet Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

  2. 2

    Mix dry ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

  3. 3

    Cut in butter

    Add the cold, cubed 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.

  4. 4

    Add buttermilk

    Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the buttermilk. Stir gently with a fork until just combined. Do not overmix.

  5. 5

    Shape the biscuits

    Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it comes together. Pat the dough into a rectangle about 1-inch thick. Use a biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits.

  6. 6

    Bake the biscuits

    Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with butter or your favorite jam.
