Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

  3. 3

    Cut in Butter

    Add the unsalted butter to the dry mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  4. 4

    Add Buttermilk

    Gradually pour in the buttermilk, stirring gently until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.

  5. 5

    Shape the Dough

    Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead gently about 5-6 times until it is smooth. Pat or roll the dough to about 1-inch thickness.

  6. 6

    Cut Biscuits

    Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out biscuits from the dough. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, making sure they are close together.

  7. 7

    Bake

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

  8. 8

    Cool and Serve

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