Ingredients

Units Scale

Dry Ingredients:

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons granulated sugar

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1 cup cold unsalted butter (cut into small cubes)
  • 1 cup cold buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter for brushing

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
  3. Cut in butter: Cut in the cold cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Add buttermilk: Make a well in the center, pour in the cold buttermilk, and stir just until the dough comes together.
  5. Shape and bake: Turn out the dough, pat into a rectangle, fold into layers, cut out biscuits, and bake for 12–15 minutes until golden.
  6. Brush with butter: Immediately brush the warm biscuits with melted butter.

Notes

  • Use frozen grated butter for extra flakiness.
  • For savory variety, add shredded cheddar, chives, or garlic powder.
  • These biscuits freeze well—bake from frozen, adding 2–3 extra minutes to the time.
