Ingredients for Basic Biscuits My Style

  • All Purpose Flour
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • Milk
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

How to Make Basic Biscuits My Style

  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Stir in the buttermilk until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it to about 1-inch thickness.
  6. Use a 2-inch biscuit cutter or a knife to cut out biscuits. Reroll scraps and cut out more biscuits.
  7. Place biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  9. Serve warm with butter and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
