Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon Baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted butter (cut into small pieces) Must be cold for best results
  • 3/4 cup Buttermilk (cold)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Add the cold, diced butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Pour in the cold buttermilk and stir gently until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix!
  5. On a lightly floured surface, gently knead the dough a few times until smooth. Roll it out to about ¾ inch thick.
  6. Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out rounds. Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown. Enjoy warm!

Notes

For extra fluffiness, place the baking sheet in the oven while preheating. To store, keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage. Reheat at 350°F (175°C).
