Biscuit Ingredients

Method

Biscuit Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).

  2. 2

    Combine Dry Ingredients

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

  3. 3

    Cut in the Butter

    Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  4. 4

    Add Buttermilk

    Pour the buttermilk into the mixture. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

  5. 5

    Shape the Dough

    Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Fold the dough over itself a few times to create layers, then pat it back to 1 inch thick.

  6. 6

    Cut the Biscuits

    Use a floured biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits from the dough. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  7. 7

    Bake

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

  8. 8

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm with butter or jam.
