Biscuit Ingredients
Method
Biscuit Preparation
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Cut in Butter
Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut in the unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add Buttermilk
Make a well in the center of the dry mixture and pour in the buttermilk. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Shape the Dough
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Pat it into a rectangle about 1-inch thick. Fold it over on itself a couple of times for extra flakiness.
Cut the Biscuits
Using a biscuit cutter, cut out rounds of dough and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, making sure they touch slightly.
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown on top.
Cool and Serve
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving warm.
