These fluffy buttermilk biscuits are a delightful addition to any meal, offering a tender texture and rich flavor.
Preheat your oven to 450°F.
Ensure your oven is fully preheated to achieve even baking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and cream of tartar.
Sift the dry ingredients together to remove any lumps and ensure even distribution.
Cut the butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Keep the butter as cold as possible to create flaky layers in the biscuits.
Pour in the buttermilk and gently stir until the dough just comes together. Avoid overmixing.
The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently a few times to bring it together.
Handle the dough as little as possible to keep it tender.
Roll the dough out to about 1/2-inch thickness and cut out biscuits using a round cutter. Place them on a baking sheet.
Dip the cutter in flour to prevent sticking.
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
Rotate the baking sheet halfway through for even browning.
Serve the biscuits warm, perhaps with butter or jam.
Warm biscuits are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven.
