Instructions
- Cut butter into small 1-inch cubes, place in a bowl and keep it in the freezer while you are preparing the rest of the ingredients.
- Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
- Add in the cold butter cubes into the mixture. Using a pastry cutter or a fork, work the butter into the flour just until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour in the buttermilk. Using a wooden spoon or your hands, mix until combined.
- Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Gently work to dough to make it cohesive using your hands without overworking it. If it is too sticky add in some flour.
- Once the dough is cohesive, pat it out into a rectangular. Fold it in thirds and gently flatten. Rotate the dough 90 degrees and fold it again. Repeat the same process for one more time. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough into a rectangular that is 1 ¼ inch thick in height.
- Dip a 2 ¾ inch round cutter into flour and then press it straight down into the dough. Transfer the biscuit onto a parchment line baking sheet with at least 1-inch space in between biscuits.
- If you need it, dip the biscuit cutter in flour in between.
- Repeat until you have 8 biscuits. *Read the post to what to do about the leftover dough.*
- Place the biscuits in the freezer and preheat your oven to 450 degrees.
- Bake in the oven for 12 minutes or until the top of the biscuits turn lightly golden brown.
- If preferred, lightly brush them with butter as soon as they come out of the oven.
- Serve them while they are still warm.
Notes
- * Alternatively, you can preheat your oven while you are making the biscuits and bake them right away. Please read the blog most for more information.
