Dry Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
Wet Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/4 cup melted butter for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the dough: In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add buttermilk and stir until just combined.
- Shape the biscuits: Turn the dough onto a floured surface, pat to 1-inch thickness, and cut out biscuits. Place on the baking sheet.
- Bake: Brush the biscuit tops with melted butter and bake for 12–15 minutes until golden brown.
- Finish: Brush with additional melted butter after baking for extra richness.
Notes
- For flakier biscuits, fold the dough a few times before cutting.
- Using frozen butter yields the best texture.
- These biscuits are great for breakfast or as a side for soups and stews.
