Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
3/4 cup buttermilk, cold
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Add the chilled butter cubes to the flour mixture and cut in the butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the cold buttermilk. Stir gently with a fork until the dough begins to come together.
5. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently until it forms a cohesive ball (about 5-6 times).
6. Roll the dough out to about 1/2-inch thickness and cut out biscuits using a floured biscuit cutter.
7. Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are close together but not touching.
8. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
9. Serve warm with butter, jam, or honey.
