30-minute Homemade Biscuits Recipe

All-Purpose flour

buttermilk (or whole milk)

tbsp baking powder

salt

unsalted butter (frozen)

butter

Preheat oven to 425℉

Grate the frozen butter using the box grater and set aside.

In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.

Add in the grated butter and work into the flour till cumbly.

Begin incorporating the cold. buttermilk into the flour mixture, use your other hand to bring the mixture into a mould. This does not require kneading, just till the dough comes together, it will be a bit crumbly.

Transfer the dough to a floured surface, when it has come together nicely, use your palms to flatten out the dough in preparation for the lamination process.

Fold in once on each side, flatten out using your palms, fold in once again on each side, repeat this process about 5 times to increase the layers your biscuits end up with. Finally flatten out to about 1½&quot; thickness.

Use your donut or biscuit cutter (a glass cup with rounded edges can be used) to cut out your biscuits and place them on a lined baking sheet.

Remould leftover dough, flatten out with your palms and cut out some more biscuits.

Transfer to your oven to bake for 15 minutes or until light golden brown and crisp.

Brush with the melted butter while still fresh from the oven.

Enjoy!

Did you really mean 2 sticks of butter for this recipe? I've done a side-by-side of at least a dozen other recipes and no others come that close.

Baking isn’t really my thing.. but the steps looked easy to follow so I decided to try this out with my family over the weekend…so happy and pleased with the outcome…   The smell of this biscuit is amazing.. and the taste is so yummy!!! 

Looking forward to trying more of your baking recipes.. Thank you!!!
