Method
Preparation
- 1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) to ensure it is hot enough for baking the biscuits.
- 2
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
- 3
Cut in Butter
Add the cold unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Mixing
- 4
Add Buttermilk
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the buttermilk. Stir gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.
Shaping and Baking
- 5
Prepare the Baking Sheet
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- 6
Shape the Biscuits
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 down again to 1-inch thickness. Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out biscuits.
- 7
Bake the Biscuits
Place the cut biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until they are golden brown on top.
- 8
Serve
Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm with butter or your favorite jam.
