Description

 

These soft and flaky buttermilk butter biscuits are perfect for breakfast or as a side dish. Made with just a few simple ingredients, they are buttery, tender, and deliciously golden brown. A perfect comfort food for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C).
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Stir in the buttermilk until just combined.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently a few times until it comes together.
  • Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick circle and use a biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits.
  • Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.

Notes

  • For fluffier biscuits, be careful not to overwork the dough.
  • If you don’t have buttermilk, you can substitute it with a mixture of regular milk and a teaspoon of vinegar or lemon juice.
  • Serve warm with butter, jam, or gravy for a comforting treat.
