Yield Makes 1 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, cold, cut into small pieces
1 3/4 cups buttermilk, plus more for brushing

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Using a pastry blender, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with a few large clumps remaining.
  • Pour in the buttermilk; using a rubber spatula, fold buttermilk into the dough, working in all directions and incorporating crumbs at the bottom of the bowl, until the dough just comes together. The dough will be slightly sticky; do not overmix.
  • Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured work surface. With floured fingers, gently pat the dough into a round about 1 inch thick, pressing in any loose bits. Do not overwork the dough. Use a floured 2 1/4-inch round biscuit cutter to cut out the biscuits as close together as possible. (Use one cut edge as the edge for the next biscuit.)
  • Place the biscuits about 1 1/2 inches apart on an unlined baking sheet. Generously brush the tops of biscuits with buttermilk. Bake, rotating sheet halfway through, until the biscuits are golden and flecked with brown spots, 18 to 20 minutes. Transfer biscuits to a wire rack to cool.

These biscuits were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add a little more buttermilk next time.

These biscuits were just okay. They weren't as fluffy as I was hoping, but they had a good flavor. I think I would try a different recipe next time.

These biscuits were a total fail. They were dry, crumbly, and had no flavor. I'm not sure what went wrong, but I'm not going to try this recipe again.

These biscuits were a disappointment. They were dry and crumbly, and they didn't have much flavor. I won't be making these again.

I made these biscuits for my family breakfast this morning, and they loved them! The biscuits were so soft and fluffy, and they had a perfect golden brown crust. I'll definitely be making these again.

I've tried a lot of buttermilk biscuit recipes, but this one is by far the best. The biscuits are always golden brown and have a perfect crumb. Thanks for sharing!
