Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Combine dry ingredients in a medium bowl.
- Add in butter cubes. Use your hands to squish the butter into flat pieces in the flour mixture. Once all butter pieces are flattened, use pastry blender to incorporate butter into flour mixture. Continue blending until all butter pieces are pea-sized or smaller.
- Add in buttermilk. Mix by hand until a soft dough forms.
- Place dough onto lightly floured surface. Roll into a ½" thick rectangle.
- Fold dough into thirds, then roll out into a longer ½" thick rectangle.
- Fold dough into thirds again, starting on the short ends. This will make a rough square.
- Use a dough cutter or sharp knife to trim the very edges of the square. This helps expose the layers inside and ensures all your biscuits rise evenly
- Cut square into 9 equal squares. Place on parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake for approximately 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Brush tops with melted butter, if desired. Serve warm.
Notes
- I live at about 5,000 feet above sea level. Altitude can affect how your biscuits rise. If you live at a lower elevation, you may need to increase the amount of baking powder in this recipe. If you live at a higher altitude, you may need to decrease the amount.
