Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 stick unsalted butter, cold and diced
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 0.75 cup buttermilk, cold
- 0.25 teaspoon low sodium salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, baking soda, cream of tartar, and low sodium salt.
Step 3
Add the cold, diced unsalted butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, quickly work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 4
Make a well in the center of the flour-butter mixture and pour in the cold buttermilk.
Step 5
Gently stir with a fork until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
Step 6
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times to bring it together.
Step 7
Pat the dough into a 1/2-inch thick rectangle. Use a round biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out biscuits, pressing straight down without twisting to ensure they rise evenly.
Step 8
Gather remaining dough scraps and repeat until all the dough is used.
Step 9
Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.
Step 10
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden brown.
Step 11
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
