Sure, here’s a simple recipe for making butter buttermilk biscuits:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 450Β°F (230Β°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
- Add the cold butter pieces to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs with some larger pieces of butter remaining. This step is essential for creating flaky biscuits.
- Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the buttermilk. Stir with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be shaggy.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead it a few times until it holds together. Again, be careful not to overwork the dough.
- Pat the dough into a rectangle about 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick. Use a floured biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out biscuits. Press straight down without twisting to ensure the biscuits rise evenly.
- Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.
- Gather any dough scraps, pat them together, and cut out more biscuits until you’ve used all the dough.
- Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until they are golden brown on top and cooked through.
- Remove the biscuits from the oven and serve warm with butter, jam, gravy, or any other toppings of your choice.
