Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 cups buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin or line it with muffin liners.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar until evenly combined.
Step 3
Using a box grater, grate the cold unsalted butter directly into the flour mixture. Alternatively, cut the butter into very small cubes. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to gently work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and vanilla extract until combined.
Step 5
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together using a spatula or wooden spoon. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should remain slightly lumpy.
Step 6
Use a spoon or ice cream scoop to divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 8
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Serve warm with butter, jam, or honey, and enjoy your Southern Biscuit Muffins!
