Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (plus extra for dusting)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- ¾ cup buttermilk, cold
- Butter or honey (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
Cut in the Butter: Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter, fork, or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces of butter.
Add the Buttermilk: Pour the cold buttermilk into the mixture. Stir gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. The dough will be sticky—do not overmix.
Shape the Biscuits: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat it into a rectangle about 1-inch thick. Fold the dough in half, then pat it down again to 1-inch thickness. Repeat this process 2-3 times to create layers. Finally, pat the dough to ¾-inch thickness and use a round biscuit cutter (or the rim of a glass) to cut out biscuits. Press straight down without twisting to ensure they rise evenly.
Arrange on the Baking Sheet: Place the biscuits close together on the prepared baking sheet to help them rise tall and fluffy. Gather the scraps, gently pat them down, and cut additional biscuits.
Bake the Biscuits: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
Serve and Enjoy: Brush the warm biscuits with melted butter or drizzle with honey if desired. Serve them alongside your favorite breakfast items, or enjoy them plain for a delicious snack.
