Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter (cold)
• 0.75 cup Buttermilk (cold)
• 2 tablespoons Butter (melted, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°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 evenly combined.

Step 3

Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes. Add the butter to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Small chunks of butter should still be visible.

Step 4

Create a well in the center of the mixture and slowly pour in the cold buttermilk. Gently stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing; the dough should be slightly sticky.

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently 3-4 times just to bring the dough together. Pat the dough into a 1-inch-thick rectangle.

Step 6

Use a 2.5-inch round biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits, pressing straight down without twisting. Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are touching one another slightly. This helps them rise better.

Step 7

Re-roll any scraps of dough and repeat the cutting process until all the dough is used.

Step 8

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

Step 9

As soon as the biscuits are out of the oven, brush the tops with melted butter for that extra buttery flavor.

Step 10

Serve the biscuits warm, and enjoy them plain or with your favorite toppings!
