Homemade Buttermilk Biscuits
Servings 10 biscuits
Homemade Buttermilk Biscuits turn a few simple ingredients into soft tender layers that are perfect for biscuits and gravy, or as a breakfast and dinner side.
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon. sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter cold
- 1 cup buttermilk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- Sift flour, baking powder, sugar, baking soda and salt into large bowl.
- Cut butter into cubes, and using a pastry cutter cut into the flour mixture until the pieces of butter becomes pea sized.
- Using a rubber spatula, fold the buttermilk into the flour mixture.
- Sprinkle a small amount of flour onto a clean work surface, and turn out the dough.
- With your hands (not a rolling pin), pat down until the dough is about 1" thick. Cut rounds out of the dough using a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter. *See Note.
- Place on an ungreased cookie sheet about 1/2 inch apart which makes them taller. Bake 10-15 minutes or until light golden brown.
Notes
After cutting the first set of biscuits, gather the scraps of dough together to cut more, but do not overwork. Know that the biscuits that follow may not be as tender or rise as high as the first ones you've made, but they'll still be delicious.
