Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp sugar (optional)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 cup buttermilk (or milk with 1 tbsp vinegar or lemon juice)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
- Add the cold cubed butter and cut it into the flour using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour in the buttermilk and stir just until the dough comes together. Do not overmix.
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop 1/4-cup mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them a few inches apart.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
- Serve warm, optionally brushed with melted butter.
Notes
- Use very cold butter for the best rise and texture.
- Add shredded cheese, herbs, or garlic powder for variation.
- Biscuits are best fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for 2–3 days.
