How to Make Buttermilk Angel Biscuits

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Lightly grease a baking sheet with butter or cooking spray.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 4 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  4. If making cheese biscuits, add 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese to the dry ingredients and stir to combine.
  5. Grate 1 cup (2 sticks) of frozen butter into the flour mixture using a box grater or food processor.
  6. Cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  7. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture.
  8. Pour in 1 1/4 cups of buttermilk all at once.
  9. Stir gently with a fork just until the dough is moistened. Do not overmix.
  10. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently divide the dough in half.
  11. Gently knead each half for a few seconds until the dough just comes together.
  12. Shape each half into a rough disc.
  13. Wrap each disc in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight).
  14. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each disc of dough to about 1-inch thickness.
  15. Use a 2-inch biscuit cutter or a sharp knife to cut out biscuits.
  16. Place biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet.
  17. Bake for 15-17 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
