Ingredients

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

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. Add the cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use your hands or a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the buttermilk. Stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
5. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Gently knead it a couple of times to bring it together.

7. Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving a little space between each biscuit.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown.
9. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!
