Ingredients

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

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
3. Add the cubed cold butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the buttermilk. Stir gently with a fork until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly lumpy.
5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead it gently a few times to bring it together.
6. Roll or pat out the dough to a thickness of about 1 inch (2.5 cm).
7. Using a biscuit cutter or a round cookie cutter, cut out the biscuits. Press the cutter straight down without twisting to get the best rise.
8. Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving about 1 inch (2.5 cm) space between them.
9. Gently gather the scraps and reroll them to cut out more biscuits.
10. Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
11. Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
