Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 Tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 7 Tablespoons butter (ice cold)
  • 3/4 cups buttermilk (ice cold + 2 Tablespoons for brushing on top)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or silicone mat.
  • In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together.
  • Using a food processor or a pastry cutter, cut butter into dry mixture until it resembles course pea-sized crumbs.
  • Pour 3/4 cup buttermilk into butter-flour mix and stir just until combines. If too dry, add a little more buttermilk. It should hold together and be slightly sticky.
  • Turn out onto floured surface and fold over 3 or 4 times then pat into rectangle that is about 1/2"-3/4" thick. Cut out 10-12 biscuits using a glass or biscuit cutter that is about 2-1/2" in diameter. You can take scraps and knead back together and make several more biscuits. These might not be as flaky but they will still be oh so good.
  • Place on prepared cookie sheet, either 1" apart for crusty sides or touching for softer sides and higher biscuits.
  • Brush tops with the remaining 2 tablespoons buttermilk and place in oven for 15 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and serve immediately or let cool on wire rack then freeze for future use.
