Description

A nostalgic recipe for fluffy and tender buttermilk biscuits that are perfect for breakfast or as a side for any meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk (plus more for brushing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure perfect rising.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  3. Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients and mix until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Pour in the buttermilk and stir gently until a soft dough forms; avoid overmixing.
  5. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface, knead a few times, and roll it out to about 1 inch thick.
  6. Cut out shapes using a floured biscuit cutter and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they touch slightly.
  7. Brush the tops with extra buttermilk for a golden crust.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and enjoy the aroma!

Notes

For added flavor, incorporate shredded cheese or herbs, and store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
