How to Make Easy Southern Style Biscuits
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda.
- Cut 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter into small pieces and add to the flour mixture.
- Using a pastry blender or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add 3/4 cup to 1 cup of cold buttermilk, mixing gently with a fork until a soft dough forms. Add milk one tablespoon at a time, until the dough is just barely coming together.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat or shape the dough into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Avoid kneading.
- Use a floured 2-inch biscuit cutter or a knife to cut out biscuits. Gently press the scraps together and cut out more biscuits.
- Place biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet, leaving some space between each biscuit.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
