Buttermilk Biscuits
These Buttermilk Biscuits combine flour, salt, baking soda, and powder with cold butter and buttermilk to create a biscuit dough that is folded multiple times for layered texture. Rolled out and cut into rounds, they bake to golden and flaky biscuits with a tender crumb. Brushing with buttermilk before baking encourages a browned, lightly crisp top crust. They are a traditional Southern-style biscuit ideal for breakfast or alongside meals.
