These fluffy buttermilk biscuits are a delightful addition to any meal, offering a tender texture and rich flavor.
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
Preheating ensures even baking and a good rise for the biscuits.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Sifting the dry ingredients can help achieve a lighter texture.
Cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Using cold butter helps create flaky layers in the biscuits.
Pour the buttermilk into the mixture and gently stir until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits tender.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead gently 8-10 times until smooth.
Over-kneading can make the biscuits tough, so handle the dough gently.
Roll the dough to a thickness of about 3/4 inch and cut into rounds using a biscuit cutter.
Dip the cutter in flour to prevent sticking.
Place the biscuits on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
For a golden top, brush the biscuits with melted butter before baking.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as butter or jam.
Biscuits are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven.
