Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it's hot enough to bake the biscuits.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

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

  3. 3

    Cut in Butter

    Add the cold 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.

Biscuit Formation

  1. 4

    Add Buttermilk

    Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the buttermilk. Stir gently with a fork until the dough starts to come together. Be careful not to overmix.

  2. 5

    Knead the Dough

    Transfer the dough onto a floured surface. Gently knead it a few times until it is cohesive, then pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick.

  3. 6

    Cut the Biscuits

    Using a floured biscuit cutter or a glass, cut out biscuits from the dough. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, making sure they touch slightly for soft edges.

Baking

  1. 7

    Bake the Biscuits

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

  2. 8

    Cool and Serve

    Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm with butter and jam.
