Best-Ever Buttermilk Biscuits Recipe
Description
The Best-Ever Buttermilk Biscuits recipe mixes all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt, incorporating frozen butter grated into the dry ingredients. This method distributes the butter evenly and promotes a flaky biscuit texture. Buttermilk is added, and the dough is gently mixed to combine, remaining slightly dry.
The dough is folded after patting into a rectangle to develop flaky layers, then cut into rounds. An egg wash brushed on top helps produce a golden crust during baking at 375°F. Baking for about 25 minutes yields biscuits that are crisp on the outside with a soft, tender inside.
These biscuits can be served with savory meals or at breakfast. They store well in an airtight container for up to three days and freeze effectively. Before serving, biscuits can be refreshed in a hot oven to regain warmth and texture. For egg substitutions, yogurt or extra buttermilk may be used.
Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour

- 1 cup butter frozen
- 1 1/2 cup buttermilk

Notes
- Biscuits freeze well and can be refreshed in a hot oven before serving.
