Sure, 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
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 425Β°F (220Β°C).
- Prepare baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- Cut in butter: Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add buttermilk: Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the buttermilk. Gently stir until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.
- Shape the dough: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. With floured hands, gently pat the dough into a rectangle about 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick.
- Cut the biscuits: Using a floured biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass, cut out rounds of dough and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart. Gather any remaining dough scraps, gently pat them together, and cut out more biscuits until all the dough is used.
- Bake: Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
- Serve: Remove the biscuits from the oven and serve warm. Enjoy them with butter, jam, gravy, or any topping of your choice!
These homemade buttermilk biscuits are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven. They’re perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a side dish for dinner. Enjoy!
