Wet Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°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 unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  4. 4

    Add Buttermilk

    Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the buttermilk. Stir gently until just combined; be careful not to overmix.

  5. 5

    Shape the Biscuits

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

  6. 6

    Bake

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

  7. 7

    Serve

    Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!
