Preparation

Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). This ensures that the biscuits will bake evenly.

Cut in Butter
Add the cold unsalted butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Biscuit Formation

Add Buttermilk
Pour in the buttermilk gradually while mixing with a wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.

Shape Biscuits
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Gently knead the dough 3-4 times until it comes together. Pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Use a biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits.
Baking

Arrange and Bake
Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are close but not touching. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown on top.

Cool and Serve
Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet. Serve warm with butter or your favorite jam.
