Classic Buttermilk Biscuits

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).

2. 2

   In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

3. 3

   Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

4. 4

   Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the buttermilk. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

5. 5

   Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it comes together.

6. 6

   Roll the dough out to about 1/2-inch thickness. Use a biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits and place them on a baking sheet.

7. 7

   Gather the scraps, re-roll, and cut out more biscuits until all the dough is used.

8. 8

   Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
