Loading...| 2 cups all-purpose flour (240 grams) | |
| 1 tablespoon baking powder | |
| ½ teaspoon baking soda | |
| ½ teaspoon coarse salt | |
| 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter , cubed (85 grams) | |
| ¾ - 1 cup cold buttermilk, plus additional for brushing (175-250 ml) |
| 1. | Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. |
| 2. | In a medium bowl mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix in the butter with a pastry cutter or a fork until mixture resembles coarse meal. |
| 3. | Add 3/4 cup buttermilk and stir until the dough starts to come together. Add more buttermilk a tablespoon at a time if needed to bring the dough together (3/4 cup + 2 tablespoons is the perfect amount for me). |
| 4. | Dump dough out onto a clean work surface and bring the dough together with your hands, kneading it gently until it comes together in a ball. |
| 5. | Pat dough to about 1-2 inches thick. Fold one half of the dough over onto the other half. Flatten again to 1-2 inches thick. Repeat 5 times. |
| 6. | Roll or pat dough to 1 inch thick. Cut dough into rounds with a lightly floured cutter. (I usually use a 3 or 3½-inch round cutter, which yields 8 biscuits) Gently bring scraps together, flatten and cut a few more rounds. |
| 7. | Place on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Brush with buttermilk. |
| 8. | Bake until golden brown, about 15-20 minutes. Serve immediately. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. |
