Biscuit Ingredients
Method
Biscuit Directions
- 1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This ensures that the biscuits will bake evenly.
- 2
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until thoroughly mixed.
- 3
Cut in the Butter
Take the stick of unsalted butter and cut it into small cubes. Add the butter to the dry mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- 4
Add Buttermilk
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the buttermilk. Stir gently with a spoon until the dough begins to come together. Do not overmix; it's okay if there are a few lumps.
- 5
Shape the Biscuits
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat the dough into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out biscuits. Re-roll any scraps and continue cutting until all the dough is used.
- 6
Bake the Biscuits
Place the cut biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, making sure they are touching slightly. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
- 7
Cool and Serve
Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm with butter or your favorite spread.
