There’s nothing quite like the aroma of fresh buttermilk biscuits baking in the oven, especially when they’re made from scratch. Growing up in the South, Sunday mornings were synonymous with these fluffy, buttery delights. My grandma, a fantastic cook, passed down her cherished buttermilk biscuits recipe to me, and now, I’m thrilled to share it with you.
- 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 cup buttermilk, cold
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the cold buttermilk, stirring just until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, knead it gently, then roll to about 1 inch thick. Use a biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm with butter, jam, or your favorite gravy.
