Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes
Serves: 8

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and diced
3/4 cup buttermilk, cold

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Add the cold, diced butter into the flour mixture.
4. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
5. Make a well in the center and pour in the cold buttermilk.
6. Stir until the dough begins to come together, being careful not to overmix.
7. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently, folding it over 3-4 times to create layers.
8. Pat the dough into a 1-inch thickness and cut out biscuits using a round cutter.
9. Place biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are touching each other for softer sides.
10. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
11. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.
