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
- Preheat the oven to 450F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- 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.
- Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the cold buttermilk. Stir until just combined and a soft dough forms.
- 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.
- 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.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
- Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite jam. Enjoy!
