Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 cup 1 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk cold

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Pastry cutter (or two forks)
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Biscuit cutter or a drinking glass
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper or silicone baking mat
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
  3. Cut in Butter: Add the cold butter to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or two forks to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Add Buttermilk: Pour in the cold buttermilk and stir gently until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Knead the Dough: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Fold the dough over onto itself 3-4 times to create layers.
  6. Cut the Biscuits: Using a biscuit cutter or a drinking glass, cut out biscuits from the dough. Press straight down without twisting to ensure the biscuits rise properly.
  7. Bake the Biscuits: Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
  8. Serve: Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Cold Ingredients: For the best texture, ensure the butter and buttermilk are cold. This helps create flaky layers.
  • Don’t Overmix: Overworking the dough can result in dense biscuits, so mix just until the dough comes together.
  • Storage: Biscuits are best served fresh, but if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container for up to 2 days. You can also freeze unbaked biscuits for up to 3 months. To bake from frozen, add a few extra minutes to the baking time.
  • Customization: Feel free to add your favorite ingredients like shredded cheese, herbs, or bacon for a savory twist on the classic recipe.
