These fluffy buttermilk biscuits are a delightful addition to any meal, offering a tender crumb and rich flavor.
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Preheating ensures even baking and a golden crust.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Whisking the dry ingredients together ensures even distribution of the leavening agent.
Cut the cold butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Cold butter creates steam pockets during baking, resulting in flaky biscuits.
Pour the buttermilk into the mixture and stir until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the dough tender.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times.
Handle the dough lightly to maintain its softness.
Roll or pat the dough to about 3/4 inch thickness and cut out biscuits using a floured cutter.
Press straight down with the cutter to avoid sealing the edges, which can hinder rising.
Place the biscuits on a baking sheet, spacing them according to your preference for crustiness.
For crusty sides, space them apart; for soft sides, place them close together.
Brush the tops with a little buttermilk for a golden finish.
This step adds a beautiful sheen and enhances browning.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
Keep an eye on the biscuits during the last few minutes to prevent overbaking.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings or as a side dish.
Enjoy them fresh for the best taste and texture.
