These fluffy buttermilk biscuits are a delightful addition to any meal, offering a tender texture and buttery flavor.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Ensure your oven is fully preheated before baking for even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Sift the dry ingredients for a lighter texture.
Cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Keep the butter cold to achieve flaky layers.
Gradually add the buttermilk to the mixture, stirring until just combined.
Do not overmix to avoid tough biscuits.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times.
Handle the dough lightly to maintain its tenderness.
Roll the dough to a 1-inch thickness and cut out biscuits using a biscuit cutter.
Dip the cutter in flour to prevent sticking.
Place the biscuits on a baking sheet and brush the tops with melted butter.
Leave some space between biscuits for even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
Check the biscuits a minute or two before the end time to avoid overbaking.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings.
Pair with honey or jam for a delightful treat.
