Ingredients
1 cup buttermilk
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces.
4. Pour in buttermilk and stir just until combined; do not overmix.
5. Turn dough onto a floured surface, pat into a rectangle, and fold into thirds. Repeat 2 more times.
6. Gently pat to 1 to 1 1/4 inch thick and cut using a round cutter without twisting.
7. Place biscuits close together on baking sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown.
8. Optional: Brush tops with melted butter and serve warm.
Notes
For extra flaky layers, freeze the cut biscuits for 10 minutes before baking.
Don’t twist your biscuit cutter—it seals the edges and limits the rise.
