Fluffy, buttery homemade buttermilk biscuits that are easy to make and perfect for any meal.
Ingredients
- 2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold and cubed)

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients and cut it in using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour in the cold buttermilk and stir until the dough comes together.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times.
- Roll the dough to about 1-inch thickness and cut out biscuits using a round cutter.
- Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, close together for soft sides or spaced apart for crisp edges.
- Brush the tops with melted butter.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
For extra flaky biscuits, ensure your butter and buttermilk are very cold. You can also freeze the dough for 10 minutes before baking.
