Servings: 6 Biscuits
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour plus more for the work surface
- 1 cup cold buttermilk
- 1 stick frozen unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
Garnish
- Butter
- Honey
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and baking soda. Whisk together until fully combined.
- Using a box grater or food processor, shred the butter into small pieces.
- Add the shredded butter to the flour mixture. Use a fork to cut the butter into the mixture until coarse crumbs form.
- Make a well in the center and pour in the cold buttermilk.
- Gently fold everything together until you get a wet, shaggy dough. It should start to form into a sticky ball.
- Transfer the dough to a floured working surface and gently bring the dough together.
- Flatten the dough out and fold it over itself a few times. Add more flour if the dough is too sticky.
- After folding a couple of times, roll the dough out into an even ½-inch thick sheet.
- Using a biscuit cutter or a cup with straight edges, push straight down into the dough without twisting. Repeat until all the dough is used.
- Transfer the biscuits to a butter-lined baking tray or dish. Space them out, but ensure they touch slightly.
- Place in the preheated oven and bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
- Once baked, brush with melted butter.
- Serve immediately with a side of butter and honey. Enjoy!
