🥐 Buttermilk Biscuits – Fluffy, Tender, and Perfectly Buttery
Buttermilk biscuits are a classic comfort food—crispy on the outside, soft and flaky on the inside. They’re great with breakfast, fried chicken, or just butter and jam.
🧾 Ingredients (Makes 8–10 biscuits)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp sugar (optional)
- ½ tsp salt
- 6 tbsp cold butter (cut into small pieces)
- ¾ cup buttermilk (cold)
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Prep dry ingredients
- In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt
2. Cut in the butter
- Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix butter into flour until mixture resembles coarse crumbs
3. Add buttermilk
- Pour in cold buttermilk and stir gently until dough just comes together (don’t overmix!)
4. Shape the biscuits
- Turn dough onto a floured surface
- Pat or roll to 1-inch thickness
- Cut with a biscuit cutter or glass
5. Bake
- Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F)
- Place biscuits on a baking tray
- Bake 12–15 min until golden brown
🔥 Tips
- Keep butter and buttermilk cold for flakier layers
- Don’t twist the cutter when cutting biscuits—press straight down
- Brush tops with melted butter for extra richness
🍽️ Serve With
- Butter and honey or jam
- Sausage gravy (for classic southern style)
- Alongside fried chicken, mashed potatoes, or soups
