Homemade buttermilk biscuits are flaky, buttery, and perfect for any meal. Here’s a simple recipe:
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1 teaspoon of salt.
- Cut in 1/2 cup of cold unsalted butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Make a well in the center and pour in 3/4 cup of cold buttermilk. Stir until just combined; be careful not to overwork the dough.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it comes together.
- Roll the dough out to about 1/2 inch thickness and use a biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits.
- Place the biscuits on the baking sheet, close together for soft sides or spaced apart for crispier edges.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and brush with melted butter, if desired.
Serve warm with jam, honey, or gravy!
