How to Make Tall And Fluffy Buttermilk Biscuits

  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
  3. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Gently stir in the cold buttermilk until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
  6. Using a 2-inch biscuit cutter or a sharp knife, cut out biscuits. Reroll scraps to make more biscuits.
  7. Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  9. Brush with melted butter (optional) and serve warm.
