Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 cup buttermilk
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the cold cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the buttermilk. Stir gently until the dough comes together. It should be slightly sticky.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Knead it gently for about a minute, shaping it into a rectangle or circle about 1/2 inch thick.
- Use a round biscuit cutter or a drinking glass to cut out biscuits from the dough. Place them on a baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each biscuit.
- Gently reshape the remaining dough and continue cutting out biscuits until all the dough is used.
- Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
- Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve the biscuits warm with butter and jam.
