Ingredients

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

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 450F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Add the cold cubed butter to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to combine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the cold buttermilk. Stir until just combined and a soft dough forms.
5. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead gently a few times until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
6. Roll out the dough to 1-inch thickness and use a round biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, close together for soft edges or spaced out for crispy edges.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
8. Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite jam. Enjoy!
