Description
Light and flaky buttermilk biscuits that elevate any meal with their rich flavor and comforting texture.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, cold
- 1 cup buttermilk
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add the buttermilk, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it forms a cohesive dough.
- Roll the dough to about ½ inch thick and cut out biscuits using a round cutter.
- Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
Notes
Keep the butter and buttermilk as cold as possible for the best texture. Avoid overworking the dough to maintain light, fluffy biscuits.
