Ingredients

Scale
  1. Dry Ingredients:
    • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
    • 1 tablespoon baking powder
    • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
    • ½ teaspoon salt
  2. Butter:
    • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
  3. Liquid Ingredients:
    • ¾ cup (180ml) cold buttermilk (or regular milk with 1 teaspoon vinegar or lemon juice)
    • 2 tablespoons heavy cream or melted butter (for brushing)
  4. Optional Add-Ins:
    • Shredded cheese, fresh herbs, or cooked crumbled bacon

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease lightly.

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
Whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.

Step 3: Cut in the Butter
Add chilled, cubed butter to the dry mix. Use a pastry cutter or fingers to blend until coarse crumbs with pea-sized butter bits form.

Step 4: Add the Buttermilk
Gradually pour in cold buttermilk, stirring gently. Mix until the dough just comes together. Avoid overmixing—it should be slightly sticky.

Step 5: Shape the Dough
On a floured surface, pat or roll dough into a 1-inch-thick rectangle. Fold into thirds, then pat again. Repeat 2–3 times for flaky layers.

Step 6: Cut and Arrange
Cut biscuits with a round cutter (don’t twist). Place on the baking sheet. Combine scraps to cut more.

Step 7: Brush and Bake
Brush tops with heavy cream or melted butter. Bake for 12–15 minutes until golden brown.

Step 8: Serve Warm
Brush hot biscuits with melted butter if desired. Serve warm with honey, jam, or gravy.

Notes

  • Make-Ahead Tip: Prepare the dough in advance and freeze unbaked biscuits. Bake straight from frozen, adding 3–5 minutes to the baking time.
  • Use grated frozen butter for even distribution and extra flaky layers.
  • Serve with sausage gravy or your favorite jam for an indulgent treat.
