How to Make Best Buttermilk Biscuits
- Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 4 teaspoons baking powder, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar.
- Cut 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes, into the flour mixture using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add 1 1/4 cups buttermilk and stir gently with a fork until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead and fold the dough 2-3 times until it just comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
- With a lightly floured rolling pin, roll the dough to 1/4-inch thickness.
- Use a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits. Place them 1 inch apart on an ungreased baking sheet.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
