Description
Flaky, golden, and buttery, these Southern-Style Buttermilk Biscuits are a comforting classic perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 cup buttermilk, cold
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (for brushing tops)
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add cold, cubed butter and cut it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Lightly flour your work surface and have your rolling pin and biscuit cutter ready.
- Assemble the Dish: Pour in the cold buttermilk and stir until the dough comes together. Turn onto the floured surface, pat into a rectangle, fold into thirds, and repeat 2–3 times. Roll out to 1 inch thick and cut biscuits.
- Cook to Perfection: Place biscuits on the baking sheet, slightly touching. Bake 12–15 minutes until golden.
- Finishing Touches: Brush tops with melted butter right out of the oven.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve warm with butter, jam, or alongside your favorite meal.
Notes
- Use cold ingredients for flakier biscuits.
- Don’t twist the cutter when cutting the biscuits.
- Self-rising flour can be used by omitting baking powder and salt.
