This recipe creates flaky, tender buttermilk biscuits that are easy to make and taste like grandma’s homemade version. Perfect for breakfasts, brunches, or as a comforting side.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ¾ cups (345g) all-purpose flour, unbleached
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ cup (113g) cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1 cup (240ml) cold buttermilk

Instructions

  1. Prep your ingredients and equipment: measure flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Cube the cold butter and chill all ingredients in the fridge for 5 minutes.
  2. Mix the dry ingredients: whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl until evenly combined.
  3. Cut in the cold butter: add cubed butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or two forks to cut the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits.
  4. Add the buttermilk: pour in cold buttermilk all at once and stir gently until just combined. Dough should be slightly sticky but hold together; add more buttermilk if too dry.
  5. Fold and roll the dough: turn dough onto a lightly floured surface, pat into a rough rectangle about ¾ inch thick, fold into thirds like a letter, then roll out again to the same thickness. Repeat 2–3 times.
  6. Cut the biscuits: use a 2 ½ inch biscuit cutter to press straight down without twisting. Gather scraps gently, reshape, and cut more biscuits until dough is used.
  7. Bake: place biscuits close together on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 425°F (220°C) for 12–15 minutes until golden brown and puffed.

Notes

Keep all ingredients cold to ensure flaky layers. Do not twist the biscuit cutter when cutting to avoid sealing edges and preventing rise. Use fresh baking powder and baking soda for best results. Fold dough gently and avoid overworking to keep biscuits tender.
