Method
Preparation
- 1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). This ensures that the biscuits bake evenly and rise properly.

Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 0.5 teaspoons of salt. Whisk together until well combined.

Cut in Butter
Add 0.5 cups of cold, unsalted butter (diced) to the dry mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Add Buttermilk
Make a well in the center of the dry mixture and pour in 3 cups of buttermilk. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.

Shape the Biscuits
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. With floured hands, gently pat the dough into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Use a floured biscuit cutter (or a glass) to cut out biscuits. Gather scraps, knead gently, and cut additional biscuits.
Baking

Bake the Biscuits
Place the cut biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are touching slightly for soft sides. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown on top.

Cool and Serve
Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet. Serve warm with butter, jam, or gravy.
