Buttermilk Biscuits

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 425┬░F (220┬░C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt.
  3. Add the cold and cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the buttermilk. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead the dough a few times until it comes together.
  6. Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Using a biscuit cutter or a round glass, cut out biscuits and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each biscuit.
  7. Gather the remaining dough scraps, pat them together, and cut out more biscuits until all the dough is used.
  8. Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  9. Remove from the oven and let the biscuits cool slightly before serving.
  10. Serve the warm Buttermilk Biscuits as a delightful side with butter, jam, or your favorite toppings.
