Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon baking soda
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Mix these dry ingredients until they are well blended.
Step 3
Take the unsalted butter out of the refrigerator and cut it into small cubes. This ensures the butter stays cold, which is crucial for the flakiness of the biscuits.
Step 4
Add the cold butter cubes to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or two knives to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 5
Create a well in the center of the flour-butter mixture and pour in the buttermilk gradually. Stir with a fork until the ingredients are just combined and a dough starts to form. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough gently about 5-6 times until it holds together but is still soft. Pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick.
Step 7
Using a 2-inch round biscuit cutter, cut out the biscuits from the dough. Press straight down without twisting to ensure the biscuits can rise properly.
Step 8
Place the cut biscuits on a parchment-lined baking sheet, making sure they are touching each other. This helps them rise evenly.
Step 9
Brush the tops of the biscuits with heavy cream to promote a golden-brown finish.
Step 10
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the tops are lightly golden.
Step 11
Allow the biscuits to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy these delicious sugar-free buttermilk biscuits warm from the oven!
