How to Make Extra Flaky Southern Buttermilk Biscuits
- Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut in the cold shortening using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add the cold buttermilk, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
- Fold the dough in thirds, like a letter. Give the dough a 1/4 turn, and fold again in thirds.
- Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick rectangle again.
- Using a 2-inch biscuit cutter or a knife, cut out biscuits. Reroll scraps and cut out more biscuits.
- Place biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Serve warm with butter and your favorite jam or gravy.
