How to Make Amazing Buttermilk Biscuits
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes.
- Cut the butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add 3/4 cup buttermilk, mixing gently with a fork until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat it into a 1/2-inch thick rectangle.
- Fold the dough in half, then in half again. Gently pat it down to about 1 inch thickness.
- Use a 2-inch biscuit cutter or a floured knife to cut out biscuits. Reroll scraps and cut out more biscuits.
- Place biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve warm with butter, jam, or your favorite toppings. For frozen biscuits, add 8-10 minutes to baking time.
