Amazing Buttermilk Biscuits Recipe

Ingredients for Amazing Buttermilk Biscuits

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup buttermilk
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda

How to Make Amazing Buttermilk Biscuits

1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. 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.
3. Cut the butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Gradually add 3/4 cup buttermilk, mixing gently with a fork until just combined. Do not overmix.
5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat it into a 1/2-inch thick rectangle.
6. Fold the dough in half, then in half again. Gently pat it down to about 1 inch thickness.
7. Use a 2-inch biscuit cutter or a floured knife to cut out biscuits. Reroll scraps and cut out more biscuits.
8. Place biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each.
9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
10. Serve warm with butter, jam, or your favorite toppings. For frozen biscuits, add 8-10 minutes to baking time.
