Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 0.75 cup Buttermilk
• 2 tablespoons Melted butter (optional, for brushing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the buttermilk. Stir gently with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until the dough starts to come together. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently 3-4 times, just enough to bring it together. Pat or roll the dough into a 1/2-inch thick rectangle.

Step 6

Using a 2.5-inch biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass, cut out as many biscuits as possible. Press straight down without twisting to ensure they rise evenly.

Step 7

Re-roll the scraps and continue cutting until all the dough is used, taking care not to overwork it.

Step 8

Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, about 1 inch apart for crispier edges or touching for softer sides.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.

Step 10

Optional: Brush the tops with melted butter as soon as they come out of the oven for an extra-rich flavor.

Step 11

Allow the biscuits to cool for a few minutes before serving warm. Pair them with butter, jam, or any topping of your choice!
