Ingredients

  • 2 Cups (256 g) All Purpose Flour
  • 1 Tbsp Sugar
  • 1 Tbsp Baking Powder
  • 1 tsp Kosher Salt
  • ½ Cup 8Tbsp unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
  • ¾ Cup (8 oz) Buttermilk

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450 F (232 C) and line baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Whisk together dry ingredients in a medium bowl.
  • Add butter and mix with pastry grinder or by hand. Mixture should begin to thicken as butter is incorporated.
  • When the butter is reduced to the size of oats, pour in your buttermilk.
  • Stir with wooden spoon or mix in with hands.
  • You may see tiny hunks of butter and that's fine!
  • Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface and shape into a rectangle about 6x9 inches.
  • Take the left side and fold into the middle, repeating with the right side, like a trifold brochure.
  • Reshape into rectangle and cut out biscuits. Use a 3-4 inch biscuit cutter, pressing and lifting straight up.
  • This should yield 6-8 large biscuits.
  • Place biscuits on prepared sheet and bake until golden brown, about 10-12 minutes.
  • Serve warm right out of the oven with your favorite toppings!
