Description

These homemade biscuits are light, buttery, and made with love, perfect for breakfast, dinner, or any occasion.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar (optional, for a touch of sweetness)
  • 1/2 cup (115 g) cold unsalted butter (cubed)
  • 3/4 cup (180 ml) buttermilk (cold)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
    • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar (if using).
  3. Cut in the Butter:
    • Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized butter pieces.
  4. Add the Buttermilk:
    • Make a well in the center of the dry mixture and pour in the cold buttermilk. Stir gently with a fork until the dough comes together, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Shape the Dough:
    • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead it 2-3 times to bring it together, then pat or roll it out to about 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick.
  6. Cut the Biscuits:
    • Use a 2-3 inch round biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits. Press straight down without twisting to help the biscuits rise evenly. Re-roll scraps as needed.
  7. Bake:
    • Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, slightly touching for softer sides or spaced apart for crispier edges. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
  8. Brush with Butter (Optional):
    • For an extra buttery flavor, brush the hot biscuits with melted butter as soon as they come out of the oven.
  9. Serve:
    • Serve warm with butter, jam, honey, or alongside your favorite meal.

Notes

  • If you don’t have buttermilk, make your own by mixing 3/4 cup milk with 1 tbsp lemon juice or white vinegar. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • Handle the dough as little as possible to keep the biscuits light and tender.
  • These biscuits can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
