Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (cold, diced into small cubes)
• 0.75 cup Cold buttermilk
• 2 tablespoons Melted butter (for brushing tops)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C) and 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, granulated sugar, and salt until evenly combined.

Step 3

Add the cold, diced unsalted butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter, fork, or your fingertips, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces of butter remaining.

Step 4

Create a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the cold buttermilk. Gently stir with a wooden spoon or spatula just until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Fold the dough in half over itself and gently press it back down. Repeat this folding process 3-4 times to create layers, which will make the biscuits flaky.

Step 6

Finally, pat the dough out to about 1-inch thickness. Using a round biscuit cutter (about 2.5 inches in diameter), cut out biscuits. Press straight down without twisting for the best rise. Gather any scraps, re-pat the dough, and cut out more biscuits until all the dough is used.

Step 7

Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between them. If you prefer biscuits with soft sides, arrange them so they are touching.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Remove the biscuits from the oven and immediately brush the tops with melted butter for added flavor and shine.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy, plain or with your favorite toppings like butter, jam, or honey!
