Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) to ensure it is hot enough to properly bake the biscuits.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until evenly mixed.

  3. 3

    Cut in Butter

    Add the 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.

Combining Ingredients

  1. 4

    Add Buttermilk

    Pour the buttermilk into the bowl with the flour and butter mixture. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.

  2. 5

    Turn Out Dough

    Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently for about 30 seconds until the dough comes together.

  3. 6

    Roll and Cut

    Roll the dough to about 1-inch thickness. Use a biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits, re-rolling the scraps as necessary.

Baking

  1. 7

    Arrange on Baking Sheet

    Place the cut biscuits onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are touching for softer edges.

  2. 8

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown on top.

  3. 9

    Cool and Serve

    Remove from the oven and let the biscuits cool for a few minutes before serving warm.
