Dry Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 3/4 cup cold buttermilk (plus more for brushing)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add Butter and Mix: Add the cold, cubed butter and cut it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Incorporate Buttermilk: Pour in the cold buttermilk and stir gently with a fork until just combined to form a shaggy dough.
- Shape and Cut: Turn the dough onto a floured surface, pat into a rectangle, fold over itself, and cut out biscuits.
- Bake: Place the biscuits on the baking sheet, brush with buttermilk, and bake for 12–15 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve: Enjoy warm with butter, honey, or jam.
Notes
- Use very cold butter and buttermilk for the flakiest texture.
- To make ahead, cut out the biscuits and freeze on a baking sheet. Bake from frozen, adding 2–3 minutes to the bake time.
