Ingredients
The following ingredients have 8 Servings
- 2 cups All Purpose Flour, plus more for dusting
- 2 tablespoons Granulated Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking Powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1/2 cup Cold Butter, cut into small pieces
- 3/4 cup Buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons Melted Butter
Instruction
- Combine your dry ingredients in a large bowl; then add the cold butter. Using a pastry blender (or by criss crossing two knives) cut the butter into the dry ingredients. Work quickly so the butter stays cold. Very important.
- Next, form a well in the dry ingredients and add the buttermilk. Gently stir the mixture together with a spoon until it forms a dough; then transfer to a floured board.
- Working with your hands, fold the dough over several times as this is what helps form the flaky layers inside of the biscuit. Don't over work the dough; turn maybe 6-8 times like you're folding a napkin.
- Next, flatten the dough into a rectangle shape about 1" thick and cut out circles using a biscuit cutter or a juice glass. You can reshape the dough a few times to re-cut. I got 8 biscuits out of this batch.
- Place the biscuits on a non-greased baking sheet, brush with melted butter (or buttermilk...your preference); then place in a preheated 450 degree F oven for about 10-13 minutes (or until the tops turn light brown and the biscuits rise).
