Homemade Buttermilk Biscuits

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 450° and have ready a baking sheet lined with either parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

Add the cubed butter and stir. Using a pastry blender, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles small broken up peas. Add the buttermilk and stir until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 4

Very gently, knead the dough, just until it comes together in a ball. Transfer to a lightly flour floured work surface and pat into a rectangle.

Step 5

Fold the sides of the dough over and onto itself, just as if you were folding a piece of paper to place in an envelope. Pat out into a rectangle once more and cut into 10 square biscuits. Alternatively, you could use a round biscuit butter.

Step 6

Place on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-13 minutes, just until the tops are golden. Serve and enjoy.
