UnitsScale
Dry Ingredients:
2 1/2cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
Wet Ingredients:
1cup cold unsalted butter (cut into small cubes)
1cup cold buttermilk
2 tablespoons melted butter for brushing
Instructions
Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C).
Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
Cut in butter: Cut in the cold cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add buttermilk: Make a well in the center, pour in the cold buttermilk, and stir just until the dough comes together.
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.
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.
