Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Pastry Cutter

Ingredients:  

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter, cold cut into small pieces
  • 1 cup buttermilk

Instructions: 

  • Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Cut the cold butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Pour in the buttermilk and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently pat it into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.
  • Fold the dough over onto itself a few times to create layers, then pat it out again to 1/2 inch thickness.
  • Use a biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits and place them on a baking sheet.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Serve warm with butter or jam.

Notes:

For extra flaky biscuits, make sure your butter is very cold.
