Biscuit Ingredients

Method

Biscuit Preparation

  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, salt, and baking soda until well combined.

  3. 3

    Cut in Butter

    Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix 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. Do not overmix.

  5. 5

    Form the Biscuits

    Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Use a round cutter to cut out biscuits and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  6. 6

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.

  7. 7

    Serve with Jam

    Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm with your favorite jam.
