Description
Golden brown on the outside, pillowy soft on the inside, these homemade biscuits are buttery, flaky, and the perfect comfort food for any meal.
Ingredients
- All-Purpose Flour: 2 1/2 cups – Base and structure for the biscuits.
- Baking Powder: 1 tablespoon – Creates lift and fluffiness.
- Baking Soda: 1/2 teaspoon – Works with buttermilk for extra rise.
- Salt: 1 teaspoon – Enhances overall flavor.
- Unsalted Butter: 1/2 cup (cold and cubed) – Adds flakiness and rich taste.
- Buttermilk: 1 cup (cold) – Gives tenderness and tang.
- Honey (optional): 1 tablespoon – Adds a hint of sweetness.
- Melted Butter: For brushing – Adds shine and extra flavor.
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine Ingredients: Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Have the baking sheet ready and lined.
- Assemble the Dish: Stir in cold buttermilk until dough forms. Gently knead and fold dough, then pat and cut into rounds.
- Cook to Perfection: Place biscuits close together and bake for 12–15 minutes until golden.
- Finishing Touches: Brush warm biscuits with melted butter.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve warm with desired toppings or sides.
Notes
- Chill dough before baking for flakier biscuits.
- Use a sharp cutter to ensure proper rise.
- Don’t twist cutter — it seals edges and flattens rise.
