Yield 12 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 12

vegetable cooking spray
DOUGH:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon double-acting baking powder
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
4 tablespoons unsalted butter -- cold, cut into 1/4" cubes
1 1/2 cup buttermilk
TO FORM AND FINISH BISCUITS:
1 cup all-purpose flour -- distributed in rimmed baking sheet
2 tablespoons unsalted butter -- melted

Steps:

  • Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 500°F. Spray 9" round cake pan with cooking spray; set aside. Generously spray inside and outside of 1/4 cup dry measure with cooking spray. For the dough: In food processor, pulse flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and baking soda to combine, about 6-1 second pulses. Scatter butter cubes evenly over dry ingredients; pulse until mixture resembles pebbly, coarse cornmeal, 8-10 1 second pulses. Transfer mixture to medium bowl. Add buttermilk to dry ingredients and stir with rubber spatula until just incorporated (dough will be very wet and slightly lumpy.) To form and bake biscuits: Using 1/4 cup dry measure and working quickly, scoop level amount of dough; drop dough from measuring cup into flour on baking sheet (if dough sticks to cup, use small spoon to pull it free). Repeat with remaining dough, forming 12 evenly sized mounds. Dust tops of each piece of dough with flour from baking sheet. With floured hands, gently pick up piece of dough and coat with flour; gently shape dough into round ball, shake off excess flour, and place in prepared cake pan. Repeat with remaining dough, arranging rounds around perimeter of cake pan and 3 in center. Brush rounds with hot melted butter, taking care not to flatten them. Bake 5 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 450°F.; continue to bake until biscuits are deep golden brown, about 15 minutes longer. Cool in pan 2 minutes, then invert biscuits from pan onto clean kitchen towel; turn biscuits right-side up and break apart. Cool 5 minutes longer and break apart.

These biscuits are the best! I've made them several times now, and they're always a hit.

I didn't have any buttermilk, so I used milk instead. The biscuits still turned out great!

These biscuits were a little dry for my taste, but they were still good.

These biscuits were easy to make and turned out great! I used a biscuit cutter to make them into fun shapes, and my kids loved them.

I'm not a huge fan of biscuits, but these were really good. They were light and fluffy, and they had a great flavor. I would definitely make them again.

These biscuits were a hit at my last brunch party. Everyone loved them! They're so soft and fluffy, and they have a great flavor.

I've tried many biscuit recipes, but this one is by far the best. The biscuits are so light and airy, and they have a perfect golden brown crust. I love that they're made with buttermilk, which gives them a tangy flavor.

These biscuits were so easy to make and turned out perfectly! They were tall, fluffy, and had a delicious buttermilk flavor. I will definitely be making these again.
