Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour plus more for dusting
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter cold and cut into cubes
  • 0.75 cup buttermilk cold

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Add the cold butter cubes to the dry ingredients and cut it into the flour using a pastry cutter or your hands until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Create a well in the center and pour in the cold buttermilk. Stir until just combined.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times to bring it together.
  • Roll or pat the dough to about 1/2 inch thick. Use a biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.

Notes

For extra flaky biscuits, fold the dough over itself several times before cutting out the biscuits.
