Biscuit Ingredients

Method

Biscuit Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

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

  3. 3

    Cut in Butter

    Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  4. 4

    Add Buttermilk

    Pour in the buttermilk and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

  5. 5

    Shape the Dough

    Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat it into a rectangle about 1-inch thick. Fold the dough in thirds, then pat it out again to 1-inch thickness. Repeat this process two more times.

  6. 6

    Cut the Biscuits

    Using a biscuit cutter or a glass, cut out biscuits and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure the biscuits are close together for soft edges.

  7. 7

    Bake

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

  8. 8

    Serve

    Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm.
