How to Make Easy Kentucky Buttermilk Biscuits

Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the Bisquick, baking powder, and salt.
Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the buttermilk until just combined; do not overmix. The dough will be slightly sticky.
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 to make more biscuits.
Place biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite biscuit topping!
