★Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups (315g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- ½ cup (115g) cold unsalted butter, cubed
- ¾ cup (180ml) cold buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons butter (for brushing, melted)
★Instructions
- Preheat Oven – Set your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients – In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- Incorporate Butter – Add the cold butter cubes to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until you have pea-sized crumbs.
- Add Buttermilk – Pour in the cold buttermilk and gently mix until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
- Roll and Fold – Transfer the dough onto a floured surface. Gently roll it out into a rectangle, then fold it over itself a few times to create layers. Finally, roll it out to about ¾-inch (2 cm) thickness.
- Cut Biscuits – Use a round or square cutter to cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake – Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown on top.
- Brush with Butter – As soon as they come out of the oven, brush the tops with melted butter for extra flavor and shine.
- Serve Warm – Enjoy your flaky, buttery biscuits with your favorite toppings!
These biscuits are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a side to a comforting meal. Try them with homemade jam, honey, or even sausage gravy for a Southern-style treat!
