Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, cold
• 0.25 cup Vegetable shortening
• 0.75 cup Buttermilk, cold
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour (for dusting)
• 2 tablespoons Melted butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

Cut the cold butter and vegetable shortening into small cubes, then add them to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to blend the butter and shortening into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Make a well in the center of the dry mixture and pour in the cold buttermilk. Stir gently with a fork until the mixture just comes together into a shaggy dough. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Lightly flour a clean surface with the extra 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour. Turn the dough out onto the surface and gently knead it a few times until it holds together.

Step 6

Pat the dough into a rectangle about 1/2-inch thick. Fold the dough in half, then pat it back out into a rectangle. Repeat this process 2-3 more times to create flaky layers.

Step 7

Roll or pat the dough out to 1/2-inch thickness. Use a 2.5-inch biscuit cutter (or a similar-sized round cutter) to cut out biscuits, pressing straight down without twisting. Gather and re-roll scraps as needed to cut out more biscuits.

Step 8

Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet with the edges touching for softer sides. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter while they are still warm.

Step 10

Serve the biscuits warm with butter, jam, or your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
