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