Ingredients
2½ cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup cold butter thinly sliced
1 cup cold buttermilk
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add butter and cut in with a pastry blender until pea-size clumps form.
Create a well in the center of the mixture by pushing the mixture toward the
sides of the bowl. Pour buttermilk into the well. Mix gently with a fork
until JUST combined. (Over mixing will make tough biscuits!)
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and create a rectangle using your
hands.
Fold the dough into thirds (like folding a letter). (Fold left side over
center, then right side, so it's still in a rectangular shape.) Then roll
back out to 1-inch thick. Repeat the folding and rolling process twice more,
Rolling the dough out to 1/2" thick on the final time.
Cut out about 12 biscuits with a 2 1/2"-3" cutter. Re-roll any scraps until
there's about 10-12 biscuits.
Transfer biscuits to a baking sheet so that the biscuits are touching each
other and the edge.
Bake at 425° for about 13-15 minutes until cooked through and golden brown
on top.
What do y'all eat with your from scratch buttermilk biscuits?
