Looking for a classic and easy biscuit recipe to add to your breakfast or brunch menu? Look no further than these mouthwatering buttermilk biscuits! These biscuits are light, fluffy, and oh-so-tender, making them the perfect addition to any meal.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). 2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. 3. Add the cold, cubed butter to the bowl and use a pastry blender or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. 4. Add the buttermilk to the bowl and stir until just combined. 5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for 30 seconds. 6. Roll or pat the dough out to a thickness of 1/2 inch. 7. Use a biscuit cutter or a round cookie cutter to cut out the biscuits. 8. Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving about 2 inches of space between each biscuit. 9. Bake the biscuits for 10-12 minutes, or until they are lightly golden brown on top.
Notes
- Serve these biscuits warm with butter and your favorite jam or honey. - You can also use a food processor to cut the butter into the flour mixture if you don't have a pastry blender. - Make sure your butter is very cold before cutting it into the flour mixture. This will help ensure a flaky and tender biscuit.
