How to Make Easy Biscuits

  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 fingers 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 if desired.
  7. Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
