Perfect Buttermilk Biscuits
Print Recipe Pin RecipeServings: 12 biscuits
Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp kosher salt or 1/2 tsp if you use salted butter
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp sugar
- 7 Tbs butter sliced into 1 Tbs pieces and chilled in freezer
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- A little extra buttermilk for brushing on the tops
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- Sift flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda and sugar into a large bowl.
- Slice butter very thinly and work it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. (I could tell you I use a pastry fork or blender, but that would be fibbing – I usually use my fingers.)
- Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour the buttermilk into it. Stir just enough to combine.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and pat it down. Roll the dough ½ inch thick and fold in half. Roll it out again to ½ inch thick.
- Using a round biscuit cutter or the top of a drink glass, cut biscuits out.
- Transfer the biscuits to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Brush the tops of the biscuits with additional buttermilk.
- Bake in preheated oven about 15 minutes, or until lightly browned.
