Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

3

Cut the cold butter into small cubes. Add to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.

4

Gradually add the cold buttermilk, stirring until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.

5

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle.

6

Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out biscuits. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each.

7

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.

8

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Chef's Tips

  • Cold Ingredients: Ensure the butter and buttermilk are very cold for the flakiest biscuits.
  • Handling Dough: Handle the dough as little as possible to avoid tough biscuits.
  • Layering: For extra flaky layers, fold the dough over itself a few times before cutting.
  • No Buttermilk: Substitute buttermilk by mixing 3/4 cup milk with 1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar.
  • Storage: Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
