Homemade buttermilk biscuits recipe

Here’s a simple recipe for homemade buttermilk biscuits:

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
• 3/4 cup cold buttermilk

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
3. Add the cold butter cubes to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some larger pea-sized pieces of butter remaining.
4. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the cold buttermilk. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to gently stir the mixture until it just comes together into a rough dough. Be careful not to overmix.
5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it holds together. Pat the dough into a rectangle about 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick.
6. Use a floured biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out biscuits from the dough. Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.
7. Gather any remaining dough scraps and gently pat them together, then cut out more biscuits until all the dough is used up.
8. Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top and cooked through.
9. Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving.
