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.
