Classic Buttermilk Biscuits
Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| All-purpose flour | 2 cups |
| Baking powder | 1 tablespoon |
| Baking soda | 1 teaspoon |
| Salt | 1 teaspoon |
| Cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes | 1/2 cup |
| Buttermilk | 1 cup |
Instructions:
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Cut in Butter: Add the cold butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry blender or a fork, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add Buttermilk: Gradually stir in the buttermilk until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
- Roll Out and Cut: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll out to about 1/2-inch thickness. Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out biscuits.
- Bake: Place biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated 450°F (230°C) oven for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Serve: Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite jam.

- For extra flaky biscuits, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
- To prevent the biscuits from sticking to the cutting surface, flour the cutter or glass before each cut.
- Don’t overwork the dough, or the biscuits will be tough.
