Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 3/4 cup cold buttermilk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- Cut cold butter into the flour mixture using a pastry blender or your fingers until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Make a well in the center and pour in cold buttermilk. Stir with a fork just until combined; do not overmix.
- Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead 4-5 times until it comes together.
- Pat dough into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Use a floured biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits without twisting.
- Place biscuits on prepared baking sheet, edges touching. Brush tops with melted butter if desired.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown. Serve warm.
Tips
- For extra flaky biscuits, freeze the butter and grate it into the flour.
- Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
- To reheat, warm in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes.
