Easy Homemade Biscuits Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
• 1 cup cold buttermilk (or regular milk)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:

• Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients:

• In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Mix well.

3. Cut in the Butter:

• Add the cold butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining.

4. Add Buttermilk:

• Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the cold buttermilk. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix. The dough will be slightly sticky.

5. Shape the Dough:

• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat it into a rectangle about 1-inch thick. Fold the dough over itself a few times to create layers, then pat it down again to about 3/4 inch thick.

6. Cut Out Biscuits:

• Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out biscuits from the dough. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, close together for soft sides or spaced apart for crispier edges.

7. Bake:

• Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.

8. Serve Warm:

• Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. These biscuits are best enjoyed warm with butter, jam, or honey.

Tips

• For extra flaky biscuits, make sure your butter is very cold.
• You can brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter before baking for added flavor.
• Feel free to add herbs or cheese to the dough for variation.

Enjoy your homemade biscuits! They’re perfect for breakfast or as a side with any meal.
