Buttermilk Biscuits
Buttermilk biscuits are soft, flaky, and buttery, making them a classic comfort food. They are easy to make with just a few simple ingredients and come together in less than 30 minutes. The secret to their fluffy texture is using cold butter and buttermilk, which create light layers as they bake.
Ingredients :
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup cold unsalted butter cubed
- ¾ cup buttermilk cold
Directions :
- Preheat the Oven: Set to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut in the Butter: Use a pastry cutter or your hands to mix in the cold butter until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
- Add Buttermilk: Pour in the buttermilk and mix gently until the dough comes together.
- Roll and Cut: Place the dough on a floured surface, fold it a few times, then roll to about ½ inch thick. Cut biscuits using a round cutter.
- Bake: Arrange the biscuits on the baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve Warm: Brush with melted butter and enjoy!
