Buttermilk biscuits
Buttermilk biscuits are a type of biscuit made with buttermilk, a fermented dairy product that adds a tangy flavor and tender texture to the biscuits. They are light, fluffy, and often served warm with butter or jam.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter cut into small pieces
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (for brushing on top)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the cold butter pieces to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the buttermilk. Stir until the dough just comes together.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it holds together.
- Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick circle and use a biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits. Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet.
- Gather any remaining dough, pat it out, and cut out more biscuits until all the dough is used.
- Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
