Here’s a classic Easy Buttermilk Biscuits recipe—fluffy, buttery, and perfect for breakfast or alongside meals 🥐🧈
🥘 Ingredients (makes 8–10 biscuits)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 6 tbsp cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 3/4 cup cold buttermilk (plus a little extra for brushing)
Optional: melted butter for brushing on top after baking
🥄 Instructions
- Preheat oven
- Preheat to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix dry ingredients
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Cut in butter
- Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add buttermilk
- Pour in cold buttermilk and stir just until the dough comes together. Do not overmix.
- Shape the biscuits
- Turn dough onto a floured surface and gently pat to about 1-inch thickness.
- Cut with a biscuit cutter or glass. Place on baking sheet, slightly touching for soft sides or spaced apart for crispier edges.
- Bake
- Bake 12–15 minutes until golden brown.
- Finish
- Brush with melted butter if desired and serve warm.
💡 Tips
- Keep butter cold—this creates flakier layers.
- Don’t overwork the dough; gentle handling keeps biscuits tender.
- For extra flavor, add grated cheese, herbs, or garlic to the dough.
