How to Make Old Fashioned Biscuits From My Great Recipe Cards

  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour, 4 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda.
  3. Cut in 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Gradually add 3/4 cup buttermilk, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick circle.
  6. Use a 2-inch biscuit cutter or a knife to cut out biscuits. Reroll scraps and cut out more biscuits.
  7. Place biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 12-18 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Start checking at 12 minutes, adding 1-2 minutes as needed depending on your oven.
  9. Serve warm with your favorite spread!
