Homemade Buttermilk Biscuits
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (plus extra for dusting)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 3/4 cup buttermilk (plus extra for brushing)
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt.
- Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs. The butter should be pea-sized.
- Add Buttermilk:
- Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the buttermilk.
- Gently stir the mixture with a spatula or wooden spoon until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.
- Shape the Biscuits:
- Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface.
- Pat the dough into a rectangle, about 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick.
- Using a biscuit cutter or a round cookie cutter, cut out the biscuits. Avoid twisting the cutter; press straight down and lift to keep the edges even for better rising.
- Bake:
- Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each biscuit.
- Brush the tops of the biscuits with a little buttermilk for a golden finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
- Serve:
- Remove from the oven and let the biscuits cool on a wire rack for a few minutes.
- Serve the homemade buttermilk biscuits warm, split open and enjoy with butter, jam, honey, or your favorite toppings.
These homemade buttermilk biscuits are flaky, tender, and perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a side dish for soups and stews. Adjust the size of the biscuits based on your preference and enjoy the warm, buttery goodness!
