Method

For the Buttermilk Biscuits

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

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

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

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

  3. 3

    Cut in Butter

    Add the cold unsalted 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

    Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the buttermilk. Stir gently with a fork until just combined; do not overmix.

  5. 5

    Knead the Dough

    On a floured surface, turn the dough out and knead gently for about 5-6 times until it comes together. Pat it into a rectangle about 1-inch thick.

  6. 6

    Cut the Biscuits

    Using a biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Gather the scraps and repeat until all dough is used.

  7. 7

    Bake

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