Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed) Keep the butter cold for flaky layers.
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk Can substitute with almond milk mixed with lemon juice.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to get it nice and hot.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Toss in the cold, cubed unsalted butter and work it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Pour in the buttermilk and stir until just combined. If the dough is sticky, add a tad more flour.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently 4-5 times.
  6. Roll the dough to about 1-inch thickness and cut out biscuits.
  7. Place the biscuits onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  8. Bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
  9. Allow the biscuits to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Perfect for serving with butter or toppings like jam. Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container for up to two days, or freeze for longer storage.
