➡ Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
6 tbsp cold unsalted butter, cubed
3/4 cup buttermilk (plus extra for brushing)
➡ Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C).
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
3. Cut in the cold butter with a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Slowly pour in the buttermilk, stirring until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix!
5. Turn the dough onto a floured surface, gently pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle, and fold it over three times for flakiness.
6. Roll or pat to 1-inch thickness and use a biscuit cutter or glass to cut out biscuits.
7. Place biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, touching slightly for a softer texture.
8. Brush the tops with buttermilk.
9. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
➡ Tips & Swap Ideas:
Butter Swap: Use salted butter but reduce added salt in the recipe.
Dairy-Free: Substitute plant-based butter and almond milk with a splash of vinegar for buttermilk.
Add-Ins: Mix in shredded cheddar and chives for a savory twist.
Storage Tip: Freeze unbaked biscuits for a quick treat later—just add a few extra minutes to baking time.
