Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour plus more for dusting the counter
- 1 teaspoon â„4 baking soda
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter as cold as possible!
- 1 cup buttermilk plus 1-2 tbsp more if needed
Instructions
- Pre-heat your oven to 400 degrees F.
- Whisk together the dry ingredients. Cut in the butter until it is pea sized crumbles.
- Pour in the buttermilk and mix until combined. The dough should be fairly sticky, and not dry at all. Add a bit more buttermilk if needed at this point.
- Flour your work surface, then place the dough on top.
- Fold the dough over itself three or four times (this helps create those big layers) and then pat out with your hands to a one inch thickness.
- Use a round biscuit cutter (or a soup can!) to cut out the biscuits.
- Place on a parchment lined baking sheet.
- Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes, until the tops are lightly browned.
- Remove and cool slightly on the sheets, then transfer to a baking rack.
