How to Make Fluffy Southern Biscuits
- Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon sugar.
- Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) cold margarine using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in 1 cup buttermilk (or milk) with a fork until just combined. Do not overmix!
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead 4-5 times.
- Pat or roll the dough to 1/2-inch thickness. Use a 2-inch biscuit cutter or a knife to cut out biscuits.
- Place biscuits close together on an ungreased baking sheet.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown, rotating the baking sheet halfway through for even browning.
- Serve warm with butter and your favorite savory topping (fried chicken highly recommended!)
